  Description     : Open standard PAQ maximum compressor

 PAQ is a series of open source data compression archivers that have
 evolved through collaborative development to top rankings on several
 benchmarks measuring compression ratio although at the expense of
 speed and memory usage.

 This package includes ZPAQ, a proposed standard format for highly
 compressed data that allows new compression algorithms to be
 developed without breaking compatibility with older programs.
