bz2/bzip2 is a free and open-source file compression program that uses the Burrows¨CWheeler algorithm. It only compresses single files and is not a file archiver. It is developed and maintained by Julian Seward. Seward made the first public release of bzip2, version 0.15, in July 1996. The compressor's stability and popularity grew over the next several years, and Seward released version 1.0 in late 2000.
bzip2 compresses most files more effectively than the older LZW (.Z) and Deflate (.zip and .gz) compression algorithms, but is considerably slower. LZMA is generally more space-efficient than bzip2 at the expense of slower compression speed, while having much faster decompression.
bzip2 compresses data in blocks of size between 100 and 900 kB and uses the Burrows¨CWheeler transform to convert frequently-recurring character sequences into strings of identical letters. It then applies move-to-front transform and Huffman coding. bzip2's ancestor bzip used arithmetic coding instead of Huffman. The change was made because of a software patent restriction.
A .bz2 stream consists of a 4-byte header, followed by zero or more compressed blocks, immediately followed by an end-of-stream marker containing a 32-bit CRC for the plaintext whole stream processed. The compressed blocks are bit-aligned and no padding occurs.

Open/Extract bz2/bzip2 File on Linux
You need to install bzip2. bunzip2 (or bzip2 -d) decompresses bz/bzip2 file. Files which were not created by bzip2 will be detected and ignored, and a warning issued. bzip2 attempts to guess the filename for the decompressed file from that of the compressed file as follows:
- filename.bz2 -> filename
- filename.bz -> filename
- filename.tbz2 -> filename.tar
- filename.tbz -> filename.tar
- anyothername -> anyothername.out

At the moment, I have a few DMGs, which would fit onto a DVD-9 but not a DVD-5. I can't get any good DVD-9s without ordering them online, and I don't want to go through that hassle for a spindle of 10 or 20. In addition, 7-zip would be an excellent format for archiving old data. Is there a mac version?
