-GREETINGS!
+Bzip compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler-Fenwick
+block-sorting text compression algorithm.
- This is the README for BZIP, my block-sorting file compressor,
- version 0.21.
+Compression is generally considerably better than that achieved by
+more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and competitive with
+all but the best of the PPM family of statistical compressors.
