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. On files large enough (several GB), plzip can use hundreds of
processors. On files of only a few MB it is better to use 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.

Changes in this version:
* Plzip now shows the progress of compression at verbosity level 2 (-vv).
Signals "SIGUSR1" and "SIGUSR2" are no more raised internally to signal
a fatal error.
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, plzip co-author and maintainer.
