Just got an e-mail from upstream. Valid options seem to be -0 to -8.
Both the manpage and "paq8l -h" doesn't reflect this, but if you type
paq8l by itself, it says:

----------------------------------------------------------
$ paq8l
paq8l archiver (C) 2006, Matt Mahoney et al.
Free under GPL, http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt

To compress:
  paq8l -level file               (compresses to file.paq8l)
  paq8l -level archive files...   (creates archive.paq8l)
  paq8l file                      (level -5, pause when done)
level: -0 = store, -1 -2 -3 = faster (uses 35, 48, 59 MB)
-4 -5 -6 -7 -8 = smaller (uses 133, 233, 435, 837, 1643 MB)
You may also compress directories.

To extract or compare:
  paq8l -d dir1/archive.paq8l      (extract to dir1)
  paq8l -d dir1/archive.paq8l dir2 (extract to dir2)
  paq8l archive.paq8l              (extract, pause when done)

To view contents: more < archive.paq8l


Close this window or press ENTER to continue...
---------------------------------------------------------

I hope this clarifies things. I wil probably make changes to the code,
so it doesn't accept the -9 option.
