Subject: Support random access via seek-bzip2
James Taylor has made a wonderful pair of tools which can index the blocks and then use this index to decompress any block of a bzip2 archive. This is exactly the functionality I need to create a tool to browse Wikipedia dumpfiles direct from a (huge) compressed archive while offline. The source is available here: http://bitbucket.org/james_taylor/seek-bzip2
Hi James, interesting idea - will have a look at it. Paul
