This is an announcement of DJGPP port of bzip2 0.9.5d.
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.
There are 3 archives:
bz2095db.zip: binaries of bzip2.
Library: libbz2.a, bzlib.h.
Programs: bzip2.exe, bunzip2.exe,
bzcat.exe, bzip2recover.exe
Docs: bzip2.info, bzip2.1
bz2095dd.zip: Docs in different formats (texinfo, info, man, ps, HTML, txt).
bz2095ds.zip: Sources of bzip2 0.9.5d for DJGPP.
which are available from DJGPP distribution in Simtelnet
(and mirror sites) in directory v2apps:
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps
For information about bzip2 see
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/bzip2/
Install the archive(s) like any other DJGPP package described
in the DJGPP FAQ, which means, copy them to any location
on your HD, let's say to c:/tmp, change to your root DJGPP
directory, let's say to c:/djgpp, and unzip there the archive preserving
the directory structure. After that PLEASE READ the file:
readme.dos
which will be located then in the directory gnu/bzip2-0.95d/ which will
describe more details.
