Incorrect changes can and very likely *will* - lead to disastrous loss of data. - - -DISCLAIMER: - - I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA ARISING FROM THE - USE OF THIS PROGRAM/LIBRARY, HOWSOEVER CAUSED. - - Every compression of a file implies an assumption that the - compressed file can be decompressed to reproduce the original. - Great efforts in design, coding and testing have been made to - ensure that this program works correctly. However, the complexity - of the algorithms, and, in particular, the presence of various - special cases in the code which occur with very low but non-zero - probability make it impossible to rule out the possibility of bugs - remaining in the program. DO NOT COMPRESS ANY DATA WITH THIS - PROGRAM UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE POSSIBILITY, HOWEVER - SMALL, THAT THE DATA WILL NOT BE RECOVERABLE. - - That is not to say this program is inherently unreliable. - Indeed, I very much hope the opposite is true. bzip2/libbzip2 - has been carefully constructed and extensively tested. - - -PATENTS: - - To the best of my knowledge, bzip2/libbzip2 does not use any - patented algorithms. However, I do not have the resources - to carry out a patent search. Therefore I cannot give any - guarantee of the above statement. - - -I hope you find bzip2 useful. Feel free to contact me at - jseward@bzip.org -if you have any suggestions or queries.
