        Archive Filename: Lunzip-v1.4-os2.zip
       Short Description: lunzip v1.4 for OS/2
        Long Description: lunzip v1.4 OS/2

Lunzip is a decompressor for lzip files. It is written in C and its small size makes it well suited for embedded devices or software installers that need to decompress files but do not need compression capabilities.
Lunzip replaces every file given in the command line with a decompressed version of itself. Each decompressed file has the same modification date, permissions, and, when possible, ownership as the corresponding compressed file. Lunzip is able to read from some types of non regular files if the "--stdout" option is specified.

If no file names are specified, lunzip decompresses from standard input to standard output. In this case, lunzip will decline to read compressed input from a terminal.

Lunzip will correctly decompress a file which is the concatenation of two or more compressed files. The result is the concatenation of the corresponding uncompressed files. Integrity testing of concatenated compressed files is also supported.

The amount of memory required by lunzip to decompress a file is only a few tens of KiB larger than the dictionary size used to compress that file.

Lunzip was written by Antonio Diaz Diaz.
