+data from damaged ones, and repair most files with small errors (up to one
+single-byte error per member) entirely.
+
+Lziprecover is not a replacement for regular backups, but a last line of defence
+when even the backups are corrupt.  It can recover files by merging the good
+parts of two or more damaged copies, such as can be easily produced by running
+@command{ddrescue} on a failing device.
+
+This package also includes @command{unzcrash}, a tool to test the robustness of
+decompressors when faced with corrupted input.")
