- I have planned to write a bunch of very well documented example
- programs, which (due to comments) should work as a tutorial to
- various features of liblzma. No such example programs have been
- written yet.
+ There are a few example/tutorial programs that should help in
+ getting started with liblzma. In the source package the examples
+ are in "doc/examples" and in binary packages they may be under
+ "examples" in the same directory as this README.
- For now, if you have never used liblzma, libbzip2, or zlib, I
- recommend learning the *basics* of the zlib API. Once you know that,
- it should be easier to learn liblzma.
+ Since the liblzma API has similarities to the zlib API, some people
+ may find it useful to read the zlib docs and tutorial too:
