Please, test it and report any bugs you find.

Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with
very safe integrity checking and a user interface almost identical to
the one of bzip2.

Changes in this version:

  * The new option "--member-size", that produces multimember files, 
has been added.

  * The new option "--volume-size", that splits the compressed output 
into several volume files, has been added.

  * This version is able to read from some types of non regular files 
if "--stdout" is specified.


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, lzip author and maintainer.
