NAME
       prezip, preunzip, precat - prefix delta compressor for Aspell

SYNOPSIS
       precat [-dzhLV] [-cfksSq] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
       prezip  is 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".
