Clzip 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.

Clzip uses the lzip file format; the files produced by clzip are fully 
compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer. Clzip is in fact a C language version 
of lzip, intended for embedded devices or systems lacking a C++ compiler.
