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:

  * Lzdiff and lzgrep have been renamed to zdiff and zgrep and moved to 
the new package zutils[1].

  * Some compilation warnings on sistems where uint32_t != unsigned int 
have been fixed.


[1] http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/zutils.html
Zutils is a collection of utilities for dealing with any combination of 
compressed and non-compressed files transparently. The supported 
compressors are gzip, bzip2 and lzip. The currently provided utilities 
are zcat, zcmp, zdiff and zgrep.
