Lziprecover is a data recovery tool and decompressor for files in the 
lzip compressed data format (.lz) able to repair slightly damaged files, 
recover badly damaged files from two or more copies, extract undamaged 
members from multi-member files, decompress files and test integrity of 
files.

Lziprecover is able to recover or decompress files produced by any of 
the compressors in the lzip family; lzip, plzip, minilzip/lzlib, clzip 
and pdlzip. This recovery capability contributes to make the lzip format 
one of the best options for long-term data archiving.

Changes in this version:

  * Lziprecover is now distributed in its own package. Until version 
1.12 it was included in the lzip package.

  * Decompressor options (-c, -d, -k, -t) have been implemented in 
lziprecover so that a external decompressor is not needed for recovery 
nor for "make check".

  * "--merge" and "--repair" now remove the output file if recovery fails.
