Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of Bzip2 1.0.2
Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is a port of Bzip2 1.0.2 to MSDOS/DJGPP.
=============================================


  bzip2 is a compressor/decompressor program with
generally considerably better compression rate than
that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based
compressors.
The command-line options are deliberately very similar
to those of GNU gzip, but they are not identical.

The port consists of the usual three packages that can be downloaded
from simtel.net and mirrors as (timestamp: 2002-05-21):

Install the archive(s) like any other DJGPP package described
in the DJGPP FAQ, which means, copy them to the root directory
of your DJGPP installation tree, let's say to c:/djgpp, and
unzip there the archive preserving the directory structure.
After that PLEASE READ the file:
   djgpp/readme
which will be located then in the directory contrib/bzip2-1.0-2/
which will describe more details.
