      PortSystem 1.0

      Name: par2
      Version: 0.4
      Revision: 2
      Description: Parchive: Parity Archive Volume Set for data recovery

      Long Description: Parchive takes .par files and can regenerate missing data based upon a Reed-Soloman Code. This is useful for restoring missing pieces of a multi-part archive like the kinds used on Usenet. Version 2 does not require like-sized pieces, so it is useful for many more kinds of data recovery.
