Lziprecover is a data recovery tool and decompressor for files in the 
lzip compressed data format (.lz) able to repair slightly damaged files, 
recover badly damaged files from two or more copies, extract data from 
damaged files, decompress files and test integrity of files.

Lziprecover is able to recover or decompress files produced by any of 
the compressors in the lzip family; lzip, plzip, minilzip/lzlib, clzip 
and pdlzip. It makes lzip files resistant to bit-flip, one of the most 
common forms of data corruption, and its recovery capabilities 
contribute to make of the lzip format one of the best options for 
long-term data archiving.

Changes in this version:

  * Lziprecover can now repair multi-member files with up to one byte 
error per member, without having to split them first.

  * Lziprecover can now merge multi-member files without having to 
split them first even if some copies have the header and the trailer 
damaged.

  * The chapters "Repairing Files" and "Merging Files" have been added 
to the manual.
