Szip compression software, providing lossless compression of scientific
data, is provided with HDF software products as of HDF5 Release 1.6.0
and HDF4 Release 2.0

I've put it in 'science' rather than 'archive' because this is one
of the depends for hdf and hdf5 and they really belong in science.
I have hdf and hdf5 in my zlocal and will submit them after testing.

+Szip is an implementation of the extended-Rice lossless compression
+algorithm. The Consultative Committee on Space Data Systems (CCSDS)
+has adopted the extended-Rice algorithm for international standards
+for space applications[1,6,7]. Szip is reported to provide fast and
+effective compression, specifically for the EOS data generated by the
+NASA Earth Observatory System (EOS)[1]. It was originally developed
+at University of New Mexico (UNM) and integrated with HDF4 by UNM
+researchers and developers.
