On this ftp archive you can find files with names ending in `.tar.lz'.
Those files are tar archives compressed with lzip. Lzip is used because
it compresses better than gzip.

To extract sources that are in files ending in `.tar.lz' you can use the
command

      lzip -cd foo.tar.lz | tar xf -

where `foo.tar.lz' is the name of the file.

Lzip is available in source form on this ftp archive, in the file
lzip-N.N.tar.gz (where N.N is the version number - e.g. 1.8).

The file lzip-N.N.tar.lz is also available for those who already have
lzip but want to get a newer version, since the lzipped file will
transfer faster.
