+Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov
+chain-Algorithm) algorithm designed by Igor Pavlov. Lzip decompresses
+almost as fast as gzip and compresses better than bzip2, but requires
+more memory and time during compression. These features make lzip well
+suited for software distribution and data archival.
+Lzip has a user interface similar to the one of gzip or bzip2.
