Clzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the
one of gzip or bzip2. Clzip is about as fast as gzip, compresses most
files more than bzip2, and is better than both from a data recovery
perspective.
Clzip uses the lzip file format; the files produced by clzip are fully
compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer. Clzip is in fact a C language version
of lzip, intended for embedded devices or systems lacking a C++ compiler.
The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term
archiving, taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability.
A nice feature of the lzip format is that a corrupt byte is easier to
repair the nearer it is from the beginning of the file. Therefore, with
the help of lziprecover, losing an entire archive just because of a
corrupt byte near the beginning is a thing of the past.

Changes in this version:
* When decompressing, the file specified with the '--output' option
is now deleted if the input is a terminal.
* A configure warning happening on some shells when testing for gcc
has been fixed.
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, clzip author and maintainer.
