* Additionally lzip is copylefted, which guarantees that it will

A nice feature of the lzip format is that a corrupt byte is easier to
repair the nearer it is from the beginning of the file. Therefore, with
the help of lziprecover, losing an entire archive just because of a
corrupt byte near the beginning is a thing of the past.
The member trailer stores the 32-bit CRC of the original data, the
size of the original data and the size of the member. These values,
