UC2 now talks during operations, continuing the original's tradition:
$ uc2 -w archive.uc2 files...
UC2 compression level: Tight
Created archive.uc2 (3 files, 0 dirs, 1 master, 4096 bytes)
Everything went OK
$ uc2 -t archive.uc2
Testing archive integrity...
Everything went OK
$ uc2 -h
UC2 3.0.0 (UltraCompressor II)
"Fast, reliable and superior compression."
Messages are warm, confident, and slightly quirky — not a fun flag,
just how UC2 talks. Suppressed by -q for scripting:
$ uc2 -qt archive.uc2 # silent, exit code only
Compression level names: Fast (2), Normal (3), Tight (4), Ultra (5).
"Everything went OK" directly from the original (MAIN.CPP:918).
Completes Phase 2 (Original Compression Engine).
