[Cc'ed to the bzip2 author] US Mirror: http://www.digistar.com/bzip2/ Main Site: (Very slow in the USA) http://www.muraroa.demon.co.uk/ A copy has been placed on the XEmacs FTP site: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/aux/bzip2-0.9.0b.tar.gz Due to the better level of compression given by bzip2, I will start uploading XEmacs releases to ftp.xemacs.org as .tar.bz2 files instead of the bulkier .tar.gz. The 21.0 release (whenever that will be) will have both .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 files. Both egcs and the Linux kernel have been issuing simultaneous .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 files and it's time we do too. Note that the bzip2 webpage includes a patch to GNU tar so `tar z' can work on them. The current version comes with a library just like zlib. It might be an interesting project to bind it at the lisp level as a loadable module or something like that. Someone who can, might wish to create binaries and a DLL for microsoft windows, in which case they should be added to aux/ as well. For those who had problems with previous versions of bzip2, please give this a try and let me know how things go.
