BlakHole (or BH) is a fairly obscure compressed archive format supported by a handful of multi-format archiving programs. It's a proprietary format from the ZipTV Compression Components -- a library for Delphi.

A self-extracting "BH SFX" format also exists.

Contents

Identification

BH files start with ASCII "BH".

BH files are observed to start with the byte pattern 'B' 'H' 0x05 0x07 ?? 0x00 0x25, but it's unclear how reliable this is.
