+ "Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the
+one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses
+more than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution and data
+archiving. Lzip is a clean implementation of the LZMA algorithm.")
