+Description
+
+Pdlzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with
+very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of
+gzip or bzip2. Pdlzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses
+better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution
+and data archiving.
+
+Pdlzip is a public domain version of the lzip data compressor, intended
+for those who can't (or do not want) distribute GPL licensed Free
+Software.
+
+Pdlzip uses public domain compression code from the LZMA SDK written by
+Igor Pavlov.
