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 1.0.5, you
will be

    familiar with this one.





  Here is a verbatim extract of the CHANGES file:





1.0.6 (6 Sept 10)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



* Security fix for CVE-2010-0405.  This was reported by Mikolaj

  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 bz2-106d.zip archive.



  To run the scripts bzmore, bzdiff and bzgrep you will have to
install the

  following DJGPP ports: difNNNb.zip, grepNNNb.zip and mktmpNNNb.zip
where

  NNN stands for the latest version number.





  The port consists of four packages that have been compiled

  using stock djdev203 and that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com

  and mirrors as (timestamp 2010-10-01):

  a second time using the djdev204 beta library. Thes packages are
available
