Hello Sven,

The release of "lunzip" is a good idea in order to spread lzip even further.
I hope that a small real decompressor proves to be more useful than lzip
+ one_line_lunzip_script_calling_lzip-d.
Are you sure that all options in the man page make sense for lunzip?
Well, no. :-)
Especially -d (decompress) looks strange to me.
Lunzip has two modes; decompress and test. I put the -d for the sake of
completeness. Perhaps I should define it in the manual like this:
"-d, --decompress decompress (default)"
Another reason -d may be useful is if someone renames or links lunzip to
lzip so that it can decompress packages without modifying the package
manager, for example in the initial instalation of a distro.
BTW: In my experiments, speed of lunzip was equal to the one of lzip -d;
This seems to be reasonable.
Thanks for the feedback. This should be the case as the decompression
code is as similar as possible between the two.
Best regards,
Antonio.
