19<para>bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block sorting text
20compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally
21considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based
22compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM family of statistical
23compressors.</para></sect3>
