The +output of this version is fully compatible with bzip2 v1.0.2 or newer (ie: +anything compressed with pbzip2 can be decompressed with bzip2). + +PBZIP2 should work on any system that has a pthreads compatible C++ compiler +(such as gcc). It has been tested on: Linux, Windows (cygwin & MinGW), +Solaris, Tru64/OSF1, HP-UX, and Irix. |
