[\fI\,options\/\fR] [\fI\,files\/\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
-Lzip \- LZMA lossless data compressor.
+Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the
+one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip \fB\-0\fR)
+or compress most files more than bzip2 (lzip \fB\-9\fR). Decompression speed is
+intermediate between gzip and bzip2. Lzip is better than gzip and bzip2
+from a data recovery perspective. Lzip has been designed, written and
+tested with great care to replace gzip and bzip2 as the standard
+general\-purpose compressed format for unix\-like systems.
