-Description: parallel data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm
- 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.
+Description: parallel, lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm
+ 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.
+ .
+ Plzip is a massively parallel (multi-threaded) version of lzip using the lzip
+ file format; the files produced by plzip are fully compatible with lzip.
+ .
+ Plzip is intended for faster compression/decompression of big files on
+ multiprocessor machines, which makes it specially well suited for distribution
+ of big software files and large scale data archiving. On files big enough,
+ plzip can use hundreds of processors.
