Please, test it and report any bugs you find.
Clzip is a C language version of lzip intended for systems lacking a C++
compiler.
Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the one
of gzip or bzip2. Lzip uses a simplified form of LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov
chain-Algorithm) designed to achieve complete interoperability between
implementations. The maximum dictionary size is 512 MiB so that any lzip
file can be decompressed on 32-bit machines. Lzip provides accurate and
robust 3-factor integrity checking. 'lzip -0' compresses about as fast as
gzip, while 'lzip -9' compresses most files more than bzip2. Decompression
speed is intermediate between gzip and bzip2. Lzip provides better data
recovery capabilities than gzip and bzip2. Lzip has been designed, written,
and tested with great care to replace gzip and bzip2 as general-purpose
compressed format for Unix-like systems.

Changes in this version:
* Large numbers in option arguments are now accepted with underscore
separators (-s 123_456_789).
* Large numbers are now printed with underscore separators (123_456_789).
* '-dvv' and '-tvv' now print (de)compressed sizes instead of compression
ratio. (Sizes are more informative than compression ratio).
* By default, '--help' now prints a short help screen containing only the
command-line options. For full help, call clzip with options '-v --help'.
* '-lvv' now prints a blank line between the list of members of each
multimember file and the next file.
