Clzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the 
one of gzip or bzip2. Clzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip, 
compresses most files more than bzip2, and is better than both from a 
data recovery perspective.

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.

The lzip file format is designed for long-term data archiving. It is 
clean, provides very safe 4 factor integrity checking, and is backed by 
the recovery capabilities of lziprecover.

Changes in this version:

  * Compression ratio of option -9 has been slightly increased.
