Minilzip is +not intended to be installed because lzip has more features, but minilzip is +well tested and you can use it as your main compressor if so you wish. .PP Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the one -of gzip or bzip2. Lzip uses a simplified form of the 'Lempel\-Ziv\-Markov -chain\-Algorithm' (LZMA) stream format to maximize interoperability. The -maximum dictionary size is 512 MiB so that any lzip file can be decompressed -on 32\-bit machines. Lzip provides accurate and robust 3\-factor integrity -checking. 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 provides better data recovery capabilities than gzip -and bzip2. 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. +of gzip or bzip2.
