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 uses the lzip file format; the files produced by pdlzip are
(hope)fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer. Pdlzip is in fact a
"public domain" version of the lzip data compressor, intended for those
who can't distribute GPL licensed Free Software.

Pdlzip is also able to decompress legacy lzma-alone (.lzma) files.

Pdlzip is written in C.

Pdlzip includes public domain compression code from the LZMA SDK written
by Igor Pavlov.
