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. "

Ported by Elbert Pol.
