+par2cmdline with Intel Thread Building Blocks 2.0
+
+This is a concurrent (multithreaded) version of par2cmdline 0.4, a utility
+to create and repair data files using Reed Solomon coding. par2 parity
+archives are commonly used on Usenet posting to allow corrupted postings to
+be repaired instead of needing the original poster to repost the corrupted
+file(s).
+
+Note: if you have installed the par2cmdline package this one will overwrite
+the par2 binary file, so do not install both versions.
+
+This requires tbb.
