       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 similar 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 precat, 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 combined so that "-c -s" is the same as "-cs".
