Pdlzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of gzip or bzip2. Pdlzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution and data archiving.

 Pdlzip is a public domain version of the lzip data compressor, intended for those who can\'t (or do not want) distribute GPL licensed Free Software. Pdlzip is written in C.

Pdlzip uses public domain compression code from the LZMA SDK written by Igor Pavlov.

* main.c: Match length limit set by options -1 to -8 has been

reduced to extend range of use towards gzip. Lower numbers now

compress less but faster. (-1 now takes 43% less time for only

20% larger compressed size).
