You need a program called bunzip2 (companion to bzip2). I'm not sure
whether there's a Windows version, but hopefully knowing the program name
will make your searching easier.
bzip2 creates very compact files but in my experience it's not terribly
well integrated with a whole lot of other software. I find it useful for
local archiving but not so much for public distribution.
