Because .exe files are much more widespread than LZH archive in .exe
disguise. So the change in point might adversely affect many files.
Indeed, nost files named .exe are not LZH archives.
It would not be right at all to treat them as LZH archives.
I see only two ways to handle the .exe LZH archives:
1. Detect them automatically (probably complex).
2. Have users say explicitly when they want to treat a .exe file
that way.
#2 is probably best. Does that currently work?
Does it work to visit the .exe file normally and then
do M-x archive-mode?
If so, this isalready exactly as it should be.
