+     "Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the
+one of gzip or bzip2.  Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses
+more than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution and data
+archiving.  Lzip is a clean implementation of the LZMA algorithm.")
