 Description
 
-Plzip is a massively parallel (multithreaded) data compressor compatible
-with the lzip file format. The files produced by plzip are fully
-compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer. Plzip is intended for faster
-compression/decompression of big files on multiprocessor machines. On
-files big enough, plzip can use hundreds of processors. Currently only
-compression is performed in parallel. Parallel decompression is planned
-to be implemented later.
+Plzip is a massively parallel (multi-threaded), 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. Plzip uses the lzip

-better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution
-and data archiving.
