     1.4 +Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar
     1.5 +to the one of gzip or bzip2.
     1.6 +Lzip uses a simplified form of the 'Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain-Algorithm'
     1.7 +(LZMA) stream format, chosen to maximize safety and interoperability.
     1.8 +Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip -0) or compress most
     1.9 +files more than bzip2 (lzip -9).
    1.10 +Decompression speed is intermediate between gzip and bzip2.
    1.11 +Lzip is better than gzip and bzip2 from a data recovery perspective.
    1.12 +Lzip has been designed, written, and tested with great care to replace
    1.13 +gzip and bzip2 as the standard general-purpose compressed format
    1.14 +for unix-like systems.
