+Description
+
+Plzip is a parallel version of the lzip data compressor. Currently only
+compression is performed in parallel. Parallel decompression is planned
+to be implemented soon.
+
+Lzip 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. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses
+better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution
+and data archiving.
