Leave the fields empty, rather than filled in with foo-like data?

 some of its fields changed from the defaults would be a good

unlzx is (surprise!) LZX archive unpacking utility released
under GNU license

LZX archiver was most popular on Amiga platform some time
ago and the archiver itself was formerly commercial and
then released free of charge (but still closed-source).
