@@@STARTPACK(bzip2;block-sorting file compressor)
<P>
Bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block-sorting
text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding.
Compression is generally considerably better than that
achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors,
and approaches the performance of the PPM family of
statistical compressors.
<P>
The command-line options are deliberately very similar to
those of GNU Gzip, but they are not identical.
</P>
