+par2cmdline (Commandline implementation of PARv2.0 specification)
+
+par2cmdline is a GPL-licensed commandline tool for creating and using PAR2
+parity sets to detect damage in files and repair them if necessary. The
+program uses Reed Solomon Coding to perform its error correction. A useful
+program for checking and ensuring the integrity of binaries retrieved from
+usenet for instance.
+
+Several patches have been included to fix compilation issues on current
+platforms.
