Subject:	ANNOUNCE: Release 2 of the DJGPP port of bzip2 1.0.6 uploaded (DJGPP
	2.05 only).
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is a port of bzip2 1.0.6 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.


   DJGPP specific changes.
   =======================

   - There are no user visible DJGPP specific changes compared with the previous
     version.  If you are familiar with the previous version 1.0.6, you will be
     familiar with this one.

   - This is the first port that has been compiled using djdev205.  Starting
     with this port version I will no longer support neither djdev204 nor djdev203.

   - The port has been tested by using it.  I have used them only on WinXP.
     It has worked flawlessly.  I do not konw if this will ever be the case on
     FreeDOS.  I have never used/tested them in that environment.

   - The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3.  There is no
     guarantee that this may be possible with any other DOS-like OS.  Due
     to the massive use of long file names it will not be possible to configure
     and compile without LFN support.  The port has been compiled using gcc510
     and bnu225br2.



   Here is a verbatim extract of the CHANGES file:

   Izdebski.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



   For futher information about bzip2 please read the man pages.  The man pages
   are the only ones that contain DJGPP specific information because they are
   the only one that can be remade with existing DJGPP tools.  The author no
   longer uses the texinfo format; he has switched to xml and it is not
   possible to recreate pdf, ps and html formated documentation from the
   distributed xml file.  Neitherless the original pdf, ps and html formated
   documentattion is supplied in the bz2-106dr2.zip archive.

   To run the scripts bzmore, bzdiff and bzgrep you will have to install the
   following DJGPP ports: difNNNb.zip, grepNNNb.zip and mktmpNNb.zip

   The port consists of the usual four packages that have been compiled
   using stock djdev203 and that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com
   and mirrors as (time stamp 2015-07-10):
