I am gathering small information regarding kernel dll functions.. and I found this function called CopyLZFileName/CreateLZFileName and some other functions related to this LZ.. I googled for it.. I cant find a proper source for it. From the name I guess it copies/creates file but am not sure what kind of file.. does LZ mean something to it. Please let me know.

    I always thought LZ stood for “Lempel-Ziv”, inventors of most popular compression algorithms (LZ77, LZ78, LZW) used nowadays. As far as I remember these API functions had been used for creating singly compressed files (aka COMMAND.CO_ style file naming), before .CAB format kicked in.
