NAME

       hunzip - compress and encrypt dictionary files

SYNOPSIS

       hzip [-h] [-P password] [file(s)]

DESCRIPTION

       hunzip  is  a  small  utility for text file compression and encryption,
       especially for sorted dictionaries.  "hunspell  filename"  creates  the
       compressed file "filename.hz" without removing the original file.

       The  compression  algorithm  uses  16-bit  Huffman  encoding  and line-
       oriented prefix-suffix compression. It has good compression  ratio  for
       huge sorted word lists.

OPTIONS

       -h     Display short help description.

       -P     Encrypted compression by an arbitrary length password.
