+UCL is written in ANSI C. Both the source code and the compressed data
+format are designed to be portable across platforms.
+
+UCL implements a number of algorithms with the following features:
+
+ * Decompression is simple and *very* fast.
+ * Requires no memory for decompression.
+ * The decompressors can be squeezed into less than 200 bytes of code.
+ * Focuses on compression levels for generating pre-compressed data
+ which achieve a quite competitive compression ratio.
+ * Allows you to dial up extra compression at a speed cost in the
+ compressor. The speed of the decompressor is not reduced.
+ * Algorithm is thread safe.
+ * Algorithm is lossless.
+
+UCL supports in-place decompression.
