Bzip2 Cat
=========
A utility similiar to the UNIX command "cat" that is able to display the content of text files compressed using either the bz2 or gzip compression algorithm.
Requirements
------------
The following need to be installed on a Ubuntu machine:
* gcc
* libbz2
* libbz2-dev
* zlib1g-dev
Building
--------
Simply build by running the `make` command
You can then view a compressed text file as follows:
./bcat sometextfile.txt.bz2
Move the `bcat` executable to a location in your path (like /usr/local/bin) to run it anywhere
