 Description
 
-Clzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the
-one of gzip or bzip2. Clzip is about as fast as gzip, compresses most
-files more than bzip2, and is better than both from a data recovery
-perspective.
+Clzip is a C language version of lzip, fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or
+newer. As clzip is written in C, it may be easier to integrate in

-Clzip uses the lzip file format; the files produced by clzip are fully

-Clzip is in fact a C language version of lzip, intended for embedded

+Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the

+intermediate between gzip and bzip2. Lzip is better than gzip and bzip2

 The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term
