lzip version
1.13 has been ported (2012/03/13) to OS/2.
"lzip v1.13 OS/2
Lzip is a lossless file compressor based on the LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov
chain-Algorithm) algorithm designed by Igor Pavlov. The high compression
of LZMA comes from combining two basic, well-proven compression ideas:
sliding dictionaries (i.e. LZ77/78), and markov models (i.e. the thing
used by every compression algorithm that uses a range encoder or similar
order-0 entropy coder as its last stage) with segregation of contexts
according to what the bits are used for.
Lzip was written by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
Lzip implements a simplified version of the LZMA algorithm. "
