NAME

       prezip, preunzip, precat -  prefix delta compressor for Aspell

SYNOPSIS

       precat [-dzhLV] [-cfksSq] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       prezip  is a a prefix delta compressor.  It is not a general purpose compressor and should
       only be used on sorted word lists or other similar text files.  It  will  likely  increase
       the size of binary data.

       If  invoked  as  prezip,  the  default action is to compress.  If invoked as preunzip, the
       default action is to  decompress.   If  invoked  as  precat,  the  default  action  is  to
       decompress to stdout.

       If no file names are given then prezip will compress or decompress from the standard input
       to the standard output.  Short flags can be combined so that "-c -s" is the same as "-cs".
