paq8o4 ver. 2 is archive-compatible with ver. 1 from
http://code.google.com/p/paq8/source released by KZ on Sept. 15, 2007.
It differs from ver. 1 in that it was compiled with g++ -DWINDOWS instead
of the Intel compiler, so that wildcards, directory traversal, and directory
creation work.  However, it is 8% slower.  The source code was modified to
work with C++ compilers that use either standard "for" loop scoping rules
or pre-1999 rules.

See paq8o4.cpp source comments for usage and compiling instructions.
