Begin3 Title: lzop -- a very fast file compressor similar to gzip Version: 1.01 Entered-date: 2003-04-27 Description: lzop is a file compressor similar to gzip. Its main advantages over gzip are much higher compression and decompression speed, at the cost of some compression ratio. lzop was designed with the following goals in mind: - speed (both compression and decompression) - reasonable drop-in compatibility to gzip - portability lzop uses the LZO data compression library for compression services.
