bzip &Lauri.Watts; &Lauri.Watts.mail; bzip is a compression program. It is rarely used today, having been replaced with bzip2, which offers much better compression. The bzip tdeioslave is not directly usable, and is intended for use as a filter. For example, the tar tdeioslave can filter a file through the bzip tdeioslave, in order to display the contents of a tar.bz file directly in a &konqueror; window. If you click on a file compressed with a bz extension in &konqueror;, this tdeioslave is used to uncompress it and display it as a normal (uncompressed) file. If you are a developer, and would like to use the bzip filter, you can find documentation on using tdeioslaves at http://developer.kde.org
