Hi, tool author here!

Regarding your first remark: high ratio data compression has its time and place, and I personally understand that to many people it is not very desirable. In a lot of scenarios something as plain and simple as LZ4 generally suffices.

On the other hand, there is an unofficial (= unsupported) port of bzip3 to older (386+) machines that run MS-DOS6.22. I have prepared it for a retrocomputing meeting in Ontario that I attended a while back. Let me know what you think :).

Oh nice. Ill will look at it at some point to check things out and to see if I can compile it here and there out of the box :)
