glzip - reduces the size of files
glzip is a simple command-line utility for reading and writing of lzip format compressed files.
The lzip format uses a simplified form of the LZMA stream format. In most cases, glzip achieves better compression ratios than alternatives such as gzip(1) and bzip2(1). Decompression speed is faster than bzip2(1), but slower than gzip(1).
