Begin3 Title: bzip -- a block-sorting file compressor Version: 0.21 Entered-date: 30SEP96 Description: bzip is a high-quality implementation of the Burrows-Wheeler block-sorting-based lossless compression algorithm. Compression is generally considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors (like gzip), and competitive with all but the best of the PPM family of statistical compressors. Bzip generally gives better compression than gzip it also generally takes longer.
