bzip2: A file compression utility1

bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler blocksorting 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.
