# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make
# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to
# leave one space after the ':'.

plzip: plzip (parallel lzip compressor)
plzip:
plzip: Plzip is a massively parallel (multi-threaded) lossless data
plzip: compressor based on the lzlib compression library, with a user
plzip: interface similar to the one of lzip, bzip2 or gzip. Plzip can
plzip: compress/decompress large files on multiprocessor machines much faster
plzip: than lzip, at the cost of a slightly reduced compression ratio (0.4
plzip: to 2 percent larger compressed files).
