    5 * WHAT IS AFIO?
    6 
    7 Afio is an archiver/backup program that produces cpio-format archives.
    8  
    9 Like tar, afio can make compressed archives.  However, the compressed
   10 archives produced by afio are much safer than tar -z archives.  If a
   11 tar -z archive has a read error, tar is unable to extract the files
   12 beyond this error.  The compressed archive format used by afio allows
   13 it to recover from read errors and go on unpacking the next file.

   15 * WHAT IS NEW IN VERSION 2.5.1?
   16 
   17 This is the first new release since 2.5 in 2003, but actually not that
   18 much is new:
   19 
   20 - various bug fixes
   21 
   22 - additional options for file name filtering
   23 
   24 - updates to the regression test scripts to make them more compatible
   25   with newer versions of shell tools
   26 
   27 - additional information on the licensing status
   28 
   29 - updated example scripts of using gpg with afio, to show a solution that
   30   is more compatible with (newer versions of?) gpg.
