-Bzip compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler-Fenwick
-block-sorting text compression algorithm.
+Please use bzip2, which is the successor of this older bzip version.
+This port stays for compatibility reasons. For a discussion of the
+advantages of bzip2 over bzip 0.21 see
-Compression is generally considerably better than that achieved by
-more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and competitive with
-all but the best of the PPM family of statistical compressors.

-used are in ALGORITHMS.
+In short: bzip2 ist faster, more reliable and *patent free*
