File Type Bzip Compressed Archive
Popularity 3 stars  Average
Category Compressed Files
File Description File archive compressed with Bzip, a file compression tool included with some Unix systems; combines Run-Length Encoding (RLE) with the Burrows-Wheeler compression algorithm; slower than .GZIP compression, but compresses files more.
