Package "qpress"

A portable file archiver using QuickLZ
qpress is a portable file archiver using QuickLZ and designed to utilize fast
storage systems to their max. It's often faster than file copy because the
destination is smaller than the source. A few features:
· multiple cores, reaching upto 1.1 Gbyte/s in-memory compression
on a quad core i7
· 64-bit file sizes and tested with terabyte sized archives containing
millions of files and directories
· pipes and redirection and *nix-like behaviour for scripting and flexibility
· Adler32 checksums to ensure that decompressed data has not been corrupted
· data recovery of damaged archives with 64 Kbyte grannularity
· unbuffered disk I/O (Windows only) to prevent disk cache of other
applications from being flushed
