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.
Keywords:       archiver, data compression
