+<CODE>bzip2</CODE>  compresses  files  using the Burrows-Wheeler 
+block-sorting text compression algorithm,  and  Huffman  coding.
+Compression  is  generally  considerably  better than that
+achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors,
+and  approaches  the performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors.

+<CODE>bzip2</CODE> is built on top of <CODE>libbzip2</CODE>, a flexible library
+for handling compressed data in the <CODE>bzip2</CODE> format.  This manual
+describes both how to use the program and 
+how to work with the library interface.  Most of the
+manual is devoted to this library, not the program, 
+which is good news if your interest is only in the program.

+Chapter 2 describes how to use <CODE>bzip2</CODE>; this is the only part 
+you need to read if you just want to know how to operate the program.
+Chapter 3 describes the programming interfaces in detail, and
+Chapter 4 records some miscellaneous notes which I thought
+ought to be recorded somewhere.
