+Ancient - Modern decompressor for old data compression formats
+
+This is a collection of decompression routines for old formats popular
+in the Amiga, Atari computers and some other systems from 80's and 90's
+as well as some that are currently used which were used in a some
+specific way in these old systems.
+
+Decompression algorithms provided:
+- bzip2
+- Compact (Unix)
+- Compress (Unix)
+- CrunchMania by Thomas Schwarz
+- Disk Masher System a.k.a. DMS
+- File Imploder
+- Freeze/Melt
+- gzip
+- Pack (Unix)
+- PowerPacker
+- Quasijarus Strong Compression
+- Rob Northen compressors.
+- Turbo Packer by Wolfgang Mayerle.
+- MMCMP: Music Module Compressor
+- SCO Compress LZH
+- StoneCracker
+- XPK-encapsulated files
+
+This code should compile cleanly on most C++17 capable compilers, and it
+is tested on clang and MSVC.
