Requirements
------------
You will need a C++ compiler and the lzlib compression library installed.
-I use gcc 5.3.0 and 4.1.2, but the code should compile with any
-standards compliant compiler.
-Lzlib must be version 1.0 or newer, but the fast encoder is only
-available in lzlib 1.7 or newer, and the HD = 3 detection of corrupt
-headers on non-seekable multimember files is only available in lzlib
-1.10 or newer.

Gcc is available at http://gcc.gnu.org.
Lzlib is available at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzlib.html.
+The operating system must allow signal handlers read access to objects with
+static storage duration so that the cleanup handler for Control-C can delete
+the partial output file.
