Short:        Bzip2 archiver for PPC (WarpOS)
Author:       Julian Seward, MagicSN@Birdland.es.bawue.de (port)
Uploader:     MagicSN Birdland es bawue de
Type:         util/arc
Architecture: ppc-warpup

According to the author of the Unix Version this archiver
compresses better than all other archivers, and is faster
in both compression and decompression. He seems to be
right, at least as to the much better compression. With my
tests, archived files had only 38% the size of lha-archives
of the same source files. Speed was not very good, though
(maybe because of Contextswitches ?)

Archives are also recoverable.

Note:

In the Amiga Version

- Default -c for bzip2 and default -d for bunzip2 does not
  work for some reason, you have to give the options manually
- compression is done like:

  bzip2 -c filename

  instead of

  bzip2 -c filename >filename.bz2
