Zutils is a collection of utilities able to deal with any combination of 
compressed and non-compressed files transparently. If any given file, 
including standard input, is compressed, its decompressed content is 
used. Compressed files are decompressed on the fly; no temporary files 
are created.

These utilities are not wrapper scripts but safer and more efficient C++ 
programs. In particular the "--recursive" option is very efficient in 
those utilities supporting it.

The provided utilities are zcat, zcmp, zdiff, zgrep and ztest.
The supported compressors are bzip2, gzip, lzip and xz.

Zcat, zcmp, zdiff and zgrep are improved replacements for the shell 
scripts provided with GNU gzip. Ztest is unique to zutils.

Changes in this version:

  * Zgrep now shows file names by default when "--recursive" is selected.

  * A deadlock in zcmp, which happens when the "-n" option is used, has 
been fixed.


This version is also available in lzip format. If your distro doesn't 
yet distribute the lzip program, you can download it from 
http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html
