At Richard's request this is my lzh exe bits in the form of a patch for arc-mode.el. archive-exe-p is a combination content and filename test, because of course not all .exes are archives, and I don't think the content test alone would be tight enough. There's been several other self-extracting archives formats in the past (I can remember zip and pak), but lzh is the only one I've encountered for a long time. A sample to try it on (as per previous message), http://kanex.or.jp/history/BRO07.exe
