Thank you very much Paul and Oscar. I have just updated the lzip page adding a link to the ezwinports port. I have also mentioned the ports in the donwload section, including 32 and 64 bit ports of plzip, the parallel version of lzip. For those using Windows 10 Anniversary build 14393 or later on x86-64, another option is Microsoft's Bash on Windows package, which I expect supports lzip. This also should be a way to run GNU tar, gzip, etc., which should be helpful for anybody doing serious work on the tz code and data (e.g., regression testing). See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/wsl/about This page says that Bash on Ubuntu on Windows runs the Ubuntu binaries provided by Canonical, so lzip should work as it has been packaged in Ubuntu since 2009: http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/lzip Best regards, Antonio. ___ Lzip-bug mailing list Lzip-bug@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lzip-bug

I couldn't find anything in the lzip documentation to tackle a tar. That's right. lzip is like gzip, and does only compression and decompression. tar is a separate program for doing archiving. This is in accordance with the software tools philosophy of having different programs for different tasks. ___ Lzip-bug mailing list Lzip-bug@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lzip-bug

See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/wsl/about I realize this last option is forward-looking, as we can't expect every Microsoft Windows user to be running last month's release. But forward-looking is OK for the experimental tzdb distribution format. ___ Lzip-bug mailing list Lzip-bug@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lzip-bug
