Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with
very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of
gzip or bzip2.

The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html.

Changes in this version:

  * Flush calls have been added to decompressor to allow partial 
recovery of the uncompressed data when decompressing a corrupt file.

  * Lzdiff, lzgrep and lziprecover are now installed by default.

  * The dependence of "--test" on the existence of "/dev/null" has been 
removed.

Antonio Diaz, lzip author and maintainer.
