| Hans-G?nter@24874 | 1 Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar |
| Hans-G?nter@24874 | 2 to the one of gzip or bzip2. |
| Hans-G?nter@24874 | 3 Lzip uses a simplified form of the 'Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain-Algorithm' |
| Hans-G?nter@24874 | 4 (LZMA) stream format, chosen to maximize safety and interoperability. |
| Hans-G?nter@24874 | 5 Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip -0) or compress most |
| Hans-G?nter@24874 | 6 files more than bzip2 (lzip -9). |
| Hans-G?nter@24874 | 7 Decompression speed is intermediate between gzip and bzip2. |
| Hans-G?nter@24874 | 8 Lzip is better than gzip and bzip2 from a data recovery perspective. |
| Hans-G?nter@24874 | 9 Lzip has been designed, written, and tested with great care to replace |
| Hans-G?nter@24874 | 10 gzip and bzip2 as the standard general-purpose compressed format |
| Hans-G?nter@24874 | 11 for unix-like systems. |
