+This is the README for bzip2/libzip2.
+This version is fully compatible with the previous public releases.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+This file is part of bzip2/libbzip2, a program and library for
+lossless, block-sorting data compression.
+
+bzip2/libbzip2 version 1.0.6 of 6 September 2010
+Copyright (C) 1996-2010 Julian Seward <[e-mail]>
+
+Please read the WARNING, DISCLAIMER and PATENTS sections in this file.
+
+This program is released under the terms of the license contained
+in the file LICENSE.
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Complete documentation is available in Postscript form (manual.ps),
+PDF (manual.pdf) or html (manual.html).  A plain-text version of the
+manual page is available as bzip2.txt.
+
+
+HOW TO BUILD -- UNIX
+
+Type 'make'.  This builds the library libbz2.a and then the programs
+bzip2 and bzip2recover.  Six self-tests are run.  If the self-tests
+complete ok, carry on to installation:
+
+To install in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/man and
+/usr/local/include, type
+
+   make install
+
+To install somewhere else, eg, /xxx/yyy/{bin,lib,man,include}, type
+
+   make install PREFIX=/xxx/yyy
+
+If you are (justifiably) paranoid and want to see what 'make install'
+is going to do, you can first do
+
+   make -n install                      or
+   make -n install PREFIX=/xxx/yyy      respectively.
+
+The -n instructs make to show the commands it would execute, but not
+actually execute them.
+
+
+HOW TO BUILD -- UNIX, shared library libbz2.so.
+
+Do 'make -f Makefile-libbz2_so'.  This Makefile seems to work for
+Linux-ELF (RedHat 7.2 on an x86 box), with gcc.  I make no claims
+that it works for any other platform, though I suspect it probably
+will work for most platforms employing both ELF and gcc.
+
+bzip2-shared, a client of the shared library, is also built, but not
+self-tested.  So I suggest you also build using the normal Makefile,
+since that conducts a self-test.  A second reason to prefer the
+version statically linked to the library is that, on x86 platforms,
+building shared objects makes a valuable register (%ebx) unavailable
+to gcc, resulting in a slowdown of 10%-20%, at least for bzip2.
+
+Important note for people upgrading .so's from 0.9.0/0.9.5 to version
+1.0.X.  All the functions in the library have been renamed, from (eg)
+bzCompress to BZ2_bzCompress, to avoid namespace pollution.
+Unfortunately this means that the libbz2.so created by
+Makefile-libbz2_so will not work with any program which used an older
+version of the library.  I do encourage library clients to make the
+effort to upgrade to use version 1.0, since it is both faster and more
+robust than previous versions.
+
+
+HOW TO BUILD -- Windows 95, NT, DOS, Mac, etc.
+
+It's difficult for me to support compilation on all these platforms.
+My approach is to collect binaries for these platforms, and put them
+on the master web site (http://www.bzip.org).  Look there.  However
+(FWIW), bzip2-1.0.X is very standard ANSI C and should compile
+unmodified with MS Visual C.  If you have difficulties building, you
+might want to read README.COMPILATION.PROBLEMS.
+
+At least using MS Visual C++ 6, you can build from the unmodified
+sources by issuing, in a command shell: 
+
+   nmake -f makefile.msc
+
+(you may need to first run the MSVC-provided script VCVARS32.BAT
+ so as to set up paths to the MSVC tools correctly).
+
+
+VALIDATION
+
+Correct operation, in the sense that a compressed file can always be
+decompressed to reproduce the original, is obviously of paramount
+importance.  To validate bzip2, I used a modified version of Mark
+Nelson's churn program.  Churn is an automated test driver which
+recursively traverses a directory structure, using bzip2 to compress
+and then decompress each file it encounters, and checking that the
+decompressed data is the same as the original.
+
+
+
+Please read and be aware of the following:
+
+WARNING:
+
+   This program and library (attempts to) compress data by 
+   performing several non-trivial transformations on it.  
+   Unless you are 100% familiar with *all* the algorithms 
+   contained herein, and with the consequences of modifying them, 
+   you should NOT meddle with the compression or decompression 
+   machinery.  Incorrect changes can and very likely *will* 
+   lead to disastrous loss of data.
+
+
+DISCLAIMER:
+
+   I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA ARISING FROM THE
+   USE OF THIS PROGRAM/LIBRARY, HOWSOEVER CAUSED.
+
+   Every compression of a file implies an assumption that the
+   compressed file can be decompressed to reproduce the original.
+   Great efforts in design, coding and testing have been made to
+   ensure that this program works correctly.  However, the complexity
+   of the algorithms, and, in particular, the presence of various
+   special cases in the code which occur with very low but non-zero
+   probability make it impossible to rule out the possibility of bugs
+   remaining in the program.  DO NOT COMPRESS ANY DATA WITH THIS
+   PROGRAM UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE POSSIBILITY, HOWEVER
+   SMALL, THAT THE DATA WILL NOT BE RECOVERABLE.
+
+   That is not to say this program is inherently unreliable.  
+   Indeed, I very much hope the opposite is true.  bzip2/libbzip2 
+   has been carefully constructed and extensively tested.
+
+
+PATENTS:
+
+   To the best of my knowledge, bzip2/libbzip2 does not use any 
+   patented algorithms.  However, I do not have the resources 
+   to carry out a patent search.  Therefore I cannot give any 
+   guarantee of the above statement.
+
+
+
+WHAT'S NEW IN 0.9.0 (as compared to 0.1pl2) ?
+
+   * Approx 10% faster compression, 30% faster decompression
+   * -t (test mode) is a lot quicker
+   * Can decompress concatenated compressed files
+   * Programming interface, so programs can directly read/write .bz2 files
+   * Less restrictive (BSD-style) licensing
+   * Flag handling more compatible with GNU gzip
+   * Much more documentation, i.e., a proper user manual
+   * Hopefully, improved portability (at least of the library)
+
+WHAT'S NEW IN 0.9.5 ?
+
+   * Compression speed is much less sensitive to the input
+     data than in previous versions.  Specifically, the very
+     slow performance caused by repetitive data is fixed.
+   * Many small improvements in file and flag handling.
+   * A Y2K statement.

+
+I hope you find bzip2 useful.  Feel free to contact me at
+   [e-mail]
+if you have any suggestions or queries.  Many people mailed me with
+comments, suggestions and patches after the releases of bzip-0.15,
+bzip-0.21, and bzip2 versions 0.1pl2, 0.9.0, 0.9.5, 1.0.0, 1.0.1,
+1.0.2 and 1.0.3, and the changes in bzip2 are largely a result of this
+feedback.  I thank you for your comments.
