Re: [Bug-tar] RE: PATCH: Lzo compression support

[devzero]

hi !

i know of that option, but i think, if there is gzip and if there is bzip2, 
there is also lzop and this 3 compression algorithms build up a nice 
triumvirate.
lzop isn`t just any of those further compression programs - it`s the logical 
addendum to gzip and bzip2 - but nobody didn`t yet notice this.
you would be surprised if you know how many programs incorporate lzo 
compression algorithm!

regards
roland
