These are archives generated by LArc, the predecessor to LHA, which uses the
-lz5- compression algorithm.  Found in larc333.exe (self extracting archive):

lz4.lzs             - Archive containing uncompressed (stored) file.
lz5.lzs             - Archive containing -lz5- compressed file.
sfx.com             - Self extracting LArc archive.
long.lzs            - Archive containing a large compressed file.
subdir.lzs          - Archive containing subdirectories.
initial.lzs         - Crafted -lz5- archive that dumps the full initial
                      contents of the history buffer from the start of
                      decompression. This archive is confirmed to work
                      correctly with LArc v3.33. However, there are some
                      subtle differences in how later versions of LHarc
                      and LHA handle the -lz5- algorithm, and as a result
                      they do not extract it properly (see #66).
