-Simple command line version of compression program using LZMA compression
-method. This program is taken from LZMA SDK. 7-zip uses the same compression
-method, but creates 7Z archives instead of pure LZMA data stream. LZMA can
-compress and decompress data streams using standard input/output.
+Simple command line implementation of LZMA compression algorithm. This tool
+uses raw LZMA format as opposed to 7z container format, which uses LZMA as
+the default compression algorithm, but has many additional features and a
+header incompatible to that of raw LZMA streams. If you need to create
+highly-compatible archives, you probably want to use archivers/p7zip port.
+Lzma tool is taken from LZMA SDK.
 
 Compression ratio is about 25-30% better than bzip2 and decompression speed
-is about two times faster. This makes LZMA good bzip2 replacement for
-use in software distribution.
+is about two times faster. The downside is higher CPU and RAM requirements
+for compression.
