<description>
bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block-sorting
text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally
considerably better than that achieved by more conventional
LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM
family of statistical compressors.
