# 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 ':'.

bzip2: bzip2 (a block-sorting file compressor)
bzip2:
bzip2: Bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block sorting text
bzip2: compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally
bzip2: considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-
bzip2: based compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM family of
bzip2: statistical compressors.
