bzip2 is a compressor/decompressor program with generally
considerably better
compression rate than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-
based
compressors.
The command-line options are deliberately very similar to those of
GNU gzip,
but they are not identical.
DJGPP specific changes.
=======================
- There are no user visible DJGPP specific changes compared with the
previous
version. If you are familiar with the previous version 1.0.5, you
will be
familiar with this one.
Here is a verbatim extract of the CHANGES file:
1.0.6 (6 Sept 10)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Security fix for CVE-2010-0405. This was reported by Mikolaj
Izdebski.
For futher information about bzip2 please read the man pages. The
man pages
are the only ones that contain DJGPP specific information because
they are
the only one that can be remade with existing DJGPP tools. The
author no
longer uses the texinfo format; he has switched to xml and it is not
possible to recreate pdf, ps and html formated documentation from
the
distributed xml file. Neitherless the original pdf, ps and html
formated
documentattion is supplied in the bz2-106d.zip archive.
To run the scripts bzmore, bzdiff and bzgrep you will have to
install the
following DJGPP ports: difNNNb.zip, grepNNNb.zip and mktmpNNNb.zip
where
NNN stands for the latest version number.
The port consists of four packages that have been compiled
using stock djdev203 and that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com
and mirrors as (timestamp 2010-10-01):
