Please, test it and report any bugs you find.

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 uses a simplified form of the 'Lempel-Ziv-Markov 
chain-Algorithm' (LZMA) stream format, chosen to maximize safety and 
interoperability. 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:

  * Clzip now does not even open the output file if the input file is a 
terminal.

  * Plzip is now mentioned in the manual as an alternative for multiprocessors.
