- --- About the client ---
-
- The normal version of this client will already be installed if you have
- installed the latest version of the XAD system. To install the 68020
- optimised version, unpack this archive to RAM:, then execute this command
-
- Copy RAM:bzip.020 LIBS:xad/bzip CLONE
-
- This client lets XAD view and extract bzip (.bz) files, but _NOT_ bzip2
- (.bz2) files. bzip can only compress a single file, and cannot even
- remember what filename, date or uncompressed size the compressed file had.
- However, it compresses much better than gzip, which is what it intended to
- replace. You are most likely to find bzip used to compress tar files
- (.tar.bz or .tbz)
-
- bzip is mostly the work of Julian Seward, and is an implementation of the
- Burrows-Wheeler block sorting compression algorithim, using MTF and
- arithmetic coding as other stages in compression.
