Clzip is a C language version of lzip, fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or 
newer. As clzip is written in C, it may be easier to integrate in 
applications like package managers, embedded devices, or systems lacking 
a C++ compiler.

Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the 
one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip -0) 
or compress most files more than bzip2 (lzip -9). Decompression speed is 
intermediate between gzip and bzip2. Lzip is better than gzip and bzip2 
from a data recovery perspective. Lzip has been designed, written and 
tested with great care to replace gzip and bzip2 as the standard 
general-purpose compressed format for unix-like systems.

The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term 
archiving, taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability.

Changes in this version:

  * Detection of forbidden combinations of characters in trailing data 
has been improved.

  * Errors are now also checked when closing the input file.

  * Clzip now compiles on DOS with DJGPP. (Patch from Robert Riebisch).

  * The descriptions of '-0..-9', '-m' and '-s' in the manual have been 
improved.

  * The configure script now accepts appending options to CFLAGS using 
the syntax 'CFLAGS+=OPTIONS'.

  * It has been documented in INSTALL the use of
    CFLAGS+='-D __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO' when compiling on MinGW.
