Short: File compressor for 68k/PowerUp/WarpOS Author: jseward@acm.org (Julian Seward) Uploader: frank phoenix owl de Type: util/arc Version: 0.9.5d Architecture: m68k-amigaos; ppc-warpup; ppc-powerup 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. The Amiga port was done with vbcc 0.7 for M68k (no FPU or 020+ required), WarpOS V4 and PowerUp (ppc.library V46). In any case you need a stack size of 32k. All features from the Unix-version, like pattern-matching, are supported, but ixemul.library is *not* required. It's a complete Amiga port. The bz2 linker libraries are included (as AmigaDos/EHF lib-file and ELF archive), for use in your own programs. For further informations, please read the original Unix man-page bzip2.txt and the manual (especially when using the linker libraries).
