About:
bzip2 is a portable, lossless data compressor based on the Burrows-Wheeler transform. It achieves good compression and runs on practically every (32/64-bit) platform in the known universe. The compression engine is also available as a library (libbz2), should you desire a programmatic interface.

progress patch
by Folkert van Heusden - Jan 20th 2003 11:15:41
Hi,
I wrote a patch which shows a progress indicator (how much done/new size)
while compressing and decompressing.
You can find it here: http://www.vanheusden.com/Linux/

Why don't you submit it bzip2 author. It's a good feature indeed. I wanted
it for months. Thanks for the patch.
