Lzip 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.   Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses
better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software  distribution
and data archiving.

As a self-check for your  protection,  lzip stores the 32-bit CRC of the
original  data and the size of the original  data, to make sure that the
decompressed  version  of the data is identical to the  original.   This
guards against corruption of the compressed data, and against undetected
bugs in lzip (hopefully very unlikely).

Other  versions of lzip exist for AIX,  ALT Linux,  Arch Linux,  Debian,
Exherbo,  Fedora,  FreeBSD,  Gentoo,  HP-UX, Mac (fink),  NetBSD, NixOS,
OS/2, Slackware, Solaris (OpenCSW), Ubuntu and Windows (Cygwin).
