Description dE 2010-09-10 03:57:14 UTC

"Lite" PAQ, single file compressor, good compression, not as slow. Also includes LPAQ1A, which uses asymmetric binary coding rather than arithmetic coding.

Reproducible: Always

Is it really useful for anything? I think we should forget about all those single-use PAQ variants and use zpaq [1] instead.
