LGLZ
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
LGLZ is an executable compression utility for DOS, developed by George Lyapko. It compresses EXE and COM formats.
The software has a -x
option, to decompress a compressed file.

Format details
LGLZ has some options that may significantly affect the compressed file, including:
-0 - compression method 0 -1 - compression method 1 -f - Use the fast self-extracting module -u - Create a compressed file, which is unextractable (by this program)
The documentation mentions DIET as an inspiration. LGLZ's compressed files do seem to have some similarity to DIET's.
Identification
