SCO compress LZH refers to a compressed file format that can be created by the SCO Unix version of the compress utility, as an alternative to the standard compress format. The LZH format usually has a better compression ratio. The -H option must be used to create such files.
The man page says "Portions of this code used for Lempel-Ziv-Huffman encoding were based on Rahul Dhesi's Zoo archiver which was adapted from Haruhiko Okumura's ar archiver".
