Please, test it and report any bugs you find.
Plzip is a massively parallel (multi-threaded) lossless data compressor
based on the lzlib compression library, with a user interface similar to
the one of lzip, bzip2 or gzip.
Plzip can compress/decompress large files on multiprocessor machines
much faster than lzip, at the cost of a slightly reduced compression
ratio (0.4 to 2 percent larger compressed files). Note that the number
of usable threads is limited by file size; on files larger than a few GB
plzip can use hundreds of processors, but on files of only a few MB
plzip is no faster than lzip.
Plzip uses the lzip file format; the files produced by plzip are fully
compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer, and can be rescued with lziprecover.
The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term
archiving, taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability.

Changes in this version:
* In test mode, plzip now continues checking the rest of the files if
any input file is a terminal.
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, plzip co-author and maintainer.
