Pdlzip is a limited, "public domain" version of the lzip data 
compressor, that uses the (de)compression code from Igor Pavlov's LZMA 
SDK and is able to decompress legacy lzma-alone (.lzma) files. Pdlzip is 
written in C.

Changes in this version:

  * The options "-f, --force", "-F, --recompress", "-k, --keep", and 
"-o, --output", have been ported from clzip.

  * Pdlzip now accepts more than one file in the command line.

  * Decompression time has been reduced by 5%.

  * The dependence of "--test" on the existence of "/dev/null" has been 
removed.

  * Configure option "--datadir" has been renamed to "--datarootdir" to 
follow GNU Standards.

  * The target "install-as-lzip" has been added to the Makefile.

  * The target "install-bin" has been added to the Makefile.
