  19 <para>The bzip2 kioslave is not directly usable, and is intended for use
  20 as a filter.  For example, the tar kioslave can filter a file through
  21 the bzip2 kioslave, in order to display the contents of a <literal
  22 role="extension">tar.bz2</literal> file directly in a &konqueror;
  23 window.</para>
  24
  25 <para>If you click on a file compressed with a <literal
  26 role="extension">.bz2</literal> in &konqueror;, this kioslave is used to
  27 uncompress it and display it as a normal (uncompressed) file.</para>

  30 you can find documentation on using kioslaves at <ulink

  36 <para><command>bzip</command> is the ancestor of bzip2.  It is rarely
  37 used today, having been replaced with bzip2, which offers much better
  38 compression.</para>
