-Background
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-LASzip is a compression library that was developed by `Martin Isenburg`_ for 
-compressing `ASPRS LAS format`_ data in his :ref:`LAStools <lastools_liblas>`.  
-It has been provided as an `LGPL`_-licensed stand-alone software library to allow 
-other softwares that handle LAS data to read and write LASzip-compressed data.  
-libLAS can optionally take advantage of LASzip as of libLAS 1.6.0b4 to read 
-and write compressed data. Currently, both LAStools and libLAS can 
-interchange data using LASzip compression
-
-The compression can be many times smaller and many times
-faster than `bz2`_, `gzip`_, and `rar` due to the fact that it can take advantage 
-of known and regular data patterns that exist in LAS data.  LASzip uses 
-two widely known and open compression techniques that have been adapted to 
-LAS data to accomplish its task.  The first is a
