+ SHORT="Lossless music compression program"
+cat << EOF
+WavPack is a completely open audio compression format
+providing lossless, high-quality lossy, and a unique
+hybrid compression mode. In the default lossless mode
+WavPack acts just like a WinZip compressor for audio
+files. However, unlike MP3 or WMA encoding which can
+affect the sound quality, not a single bit of the
+original information is lost and so there's no chance
+of degradation. This makes lossless mode ideal for
+archiving audio material or any other situation where
+quality is paramount. The compression ratio depends on
+the source material, but generally is between 30% and 70%.
+The hybrid mode provides all the advantages of lossless
+compression with an additional bonus. Instead of creating
+a single file, this mode creates both a relatively small,
+high-quality lossy file that can be used all by itself,
+and a "correction" file that (when combined with the
+lossy file) provides full lossless restoration.
