PMT = parallel multithreaded tool

RZ is a single threaded compressor, so PMT splits the data input into chunks and compresses those chunks in parallel to essentially harness multithreaded operations and speed up encoding / decoding.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up with UELR, I got distracted to properly figure out what it does and wasn't sure if it handles LZO streams or did something like unpack UE3 archives. Thank you for explaining what PMT does, saved me a lot of time! It's fascinating how people are able to come up with these solutions honestly.
