bzip2-compat32: bzip2-compat32 (a block-sorting file compressor) bzip2-compat32: bzip2-compat32: Bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block sorting text bzip2-compat32: compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally bzip2-compat32: considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78- bzip2-compat32: based compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM family of bzip2-compat32: statistical compressors. bzip2-compat32: bzip2-compat32: Julian Seward is the author of bzip2. bzip2-compat32: bzip2-compat32: This package contains 32-bit compatibility binaries.
