I am sure that you want to demonstrate the effectiveness of LZIP, but when I 
downloaded it as an lzipped archive, I didn't have anything to UN-lzip it !

Please provide it in either a self unzipping archive, or as plain everyday 
binary or dmg for apple.

Programmers are famous for 'Logic' errors but Chicken and the Egg fellas!

I have had to type in assembler code from Byte Magazine pages for archivers 
such as 'SQ' (squeeze for Z80-cp/m) and it's separate un-squeeze 'USQ', then 
later port it to IBM x86 (x88 actually) so I could access my files. Yes, 
getting code has been harder, but almost 40 years on I thought I could simply 
download and use a file by now.

Honora Codice ('Honor the Code' Latin)

Many thanks and I am keen to see what it is like.
