Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with
very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of
gzip or bzip2. Lziprecover is a data recovery program for
lzip-compressed files.
The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html.
Changes in this version:
* The option "--merge", which tries to produce a correct file merging
the good parts of two or more damaged copies, has been added to lziprecover.
(To give you an idea of --merge's possibilities, when merging two copies
each of them with one damaged area affecting 1 percent of the copy, the
probability of obtaining a correct file is about 98 percent. With three
such copies the probability rises to 99.97 percent. For large files with
small errors, the probability approaches 100 percent).
* The option "--force", which forces overwriting of existing output
files, has been added to lziprecover.
* The option "--output", which sets the name of the output file, has
been added to lziprecover.
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, lzip author and maintainer.
