Lziprecover is a data recovery tool and decompressor for files in the 
lzip compressed data format (.lz) able to repair slightly damaged files, 
recover badly damaged files from two or more copies, extract undamaged 
members from multi-member files, decompress files, test integrity of 
files, extract a range of bytes from a file, and list the correct size 
of multi-member files.

Lziprecover is able to recover or decompress files produced by any of 
the compressors in the lzip family; lzip, plzip, minilzip/lzlib, clzip 
and pdlzip. This recovery capability contributes to make the lzip format 
one of the best options for long-term data archiving.

Changes in this version:

  * The new option "-D, --range-decompress" which extracts a range of 
bytes decompressing only the members containing the desired data, has 
been added.

  * The new option "-l, --list" which prints correct total file sizes 
and ratios even for multimember files, has been added.
