Clzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the
one of gzip or bzip2. Clzip is about as fast as gzip, compresses most
files more than bzip2, and is better than both from a data recovery
perspective. Clzip is a clean implementation of the LZMA "algorithm".
Clzip uses the lzip file format; the files produced by clzip are fully
compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer. Clzip is in fact a C language version
of lzip, intended for embedded devices or systems lacking a C++ compiler.
The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term data
archiving. It is clean, provides very safe 4 factor integrity checking,
and is backed by the recovery capabilities of lziprecover.
A nice feature of the lzip format is that a corrupt byte is easier to
repair the nearer it is from the beginning of the file. Therefore, with
the help of lziprecover, losing an entire archive just because of a
corrupt byte near the beginning is a thing of the past.

Changes in this version:
* The option "-0", which produces a compression speed and ratio
comparable to those of gzip, has been ported from lzip.
* The targets "install-compress", "install-strip-compress",
"install-info-compress" and "install-man-compress" have been added to
the Makefile.

Antonio Diaz, clzip author and maintainer.
