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 simi-
       lar 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  pre-
       cat, 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 com-
       bined so that "-c -s" is the same as "-cs".

	      display help

       -d --decompress

       -s --sort
