Does LHA support password protection?

Does LHA support password protection/encryption on files when compressing?

I have an old LHA archive that doesn't seem to want to extract. Always says 'skipping corrupt/extraneous data' as it reads through the entire file.

Maybe I put a password on it all those years ago, though I can't find an app that suggests this is possible. But I can't think of anything else. Any ideas???

The -g flag is "garble with password" according to the amigaguide docs, so it does seem to.

edit:

Scrap that it's legacy option for MSDOS archives and is ignored on the Amiga.

Don't know if this helps though (taken from the docs):

The -k option is for recovering corrupt data ie:

lha -k -b8 x dl:corrupt ram:

which would extract as much data as possible from the corrupt archive to 'ram:' with an 8k I/O buffer.
