Plzip is a parallel version of the lzip data compressor. 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.

Changes in this version:

  * This is the initial release. The compression code is based on 
llzip-0.03, written by Laszlo Ersek <address@hidden>. Currently 
only compression is performed in parallel. Parallel decompression is 
planned to be implemented soon.
