LHice, a.k.a. ICE, is an unauthorized modified version of the LHarc v1.13c compression utility for DOS. It calls itself "LHice version 1.14". Its creator is unknown.
It is apparently functionally identical to LHarc v1.13c, except that the LHA files it creates have the extension .ICE instead of .LZH. Also, the self-extracting archives it creates have minor differences -- refer to LHA/LHarc self-extracting archive.

[edit] Versions
One version of LHice, which we'll call the "common" version, was fairly widely distributed. Two additional rare versions have been found. The different versions were not necessarily all made by the same person. They all have the same name, version number (1.14), and date (07/15/89), so we'll need some other way to identify them.
There are also at least two more similar pranks, "LHarc v1.14a" and "LHARC v1.14β", that seem to be related to LHice, though they're not named LHice.
[edit] "Common" version
While compressing a large file, the "common" version's progress meter looks like "█████░░░░░". It prints "Frozen" after it compresses a file.
[edit] "Stars" version
While compressing a large file, the "stars" version's progress meter looks like "█████*****". It prints "Frozen" after it compresses a file.
[edit] "Packed" version
While compressing a large file, the "Packed" version's progress meter looks like "█████░░░░░". It prints "Packed" after it compresses a file.
