# The archivers/rzip port

## rzip-2.1 – file compressor with a high compression ratio

## Description

    rzip is a compression program that is similar to gzip and bzip2.
    The primary difference is that rzip is able to exploit long
    distance redundancies in files, which enables rzip to produce
    much better compression ratios (sometimes). However, the
    drawbacks of rzip are that one cannot pipeline rzip and it is
    very memory-intensive.
