Soft Comfort Archive files. This article provides an overview of these uses, helping you understand how to open and use these files.

LightScribe Archive Files

To use LSA files of this type, a UNIX-based system or a shell that can emulate a UNIX environment, like Cygwin for Windows, is required. The file can be executed directly from a command line interface.

LOGO! Soft Comfort Archive Files

Finally, LSA files can be archive files created by LOGO! Soft Comfort, a software for programming LOGO! logic modules. These files contain program data, including configuration settings and programming blocks.
