-ZLIB DATA COMPRESSION LIBRARY
-
-zlib 1.2.8 is a general purpose data compression library. All the code is
-thread safe. The data format used by the zlib library is described by RFCs
-(Request for Comments) 1950 to 1952 in the files
-http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1950 (zlib format), rfc1951 (deflate format) and
-rfc1952 (gzip format).
-
-All functions of the compression library are documented in the file zlib.h
-(volunteer to write man pages welcome, contact zlib@gzip.org). A usage example
-of the library is given in the file test/example.c which also tests that
-the library is working correctly. Another example is given in the file
-test/minigzip.c. The compression library itself is composed of all source
-files in the root directory.
-
-To compile all files and run the test program, follow the instructions given at
-the top of Makefile.in. In short "./configure; make test", and if that goes
-well, "make install" should work for most flavors of Unix. For Windows, use
-one of the special makefiles in win32/ or contrib/vstudio/ . For VMS, use
-make_vms.com.
-
-Questions about zlib should be sent to <zlib@gzip.org>, or to Gilles Vollant
-<info@winimage.com> for the Windows DLL version. The zlib home page is
-http://zlib.net/ . Before reporting a problem, please check this site to
-verify that you have the latest version of zlib; otherwise get the latest
-version and check whether the problem still exists or not.
-
-PLEASE read the zlib FAQ http://zlib.net/zlib_faq.html before asking for help.
-
-Mark Nelson <markn@ieee.org> wrote an article about zlib for the Jan. 1997
-issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal; a copy of the article is available at
-http://marknelson.us/1997/01/01/zlib-engine/ .
-
-The changes made in version 1.2.8 are documented in the file ChangeLog.
-
-Unsupported third party contributions are provided in directory contrib/ .
-
-zlib is available in Java using the java.util.zip package, documented at
-http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/compression/ .
-
-A Perl interface to zlib written by Paul Marquess <pmqs@cpan.org> is available
-at CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) sites, including
-http://search.cpan.org/~pmqs/IO-Compress-Zlib/ .
-
-A Python interface to zlib written by A.M. Kuchling <amk@amk.ca> is
-available in Python 1.5 and later versions, see
-http://docs.python.org/library/zlib.html .
-
-zlib is built into tcl: http://wiki.tcl.tk/4610 .
-
-An experimental package to read and write files in .zip format, written on top
-of zlib by Gilles Vollant <info@winimage.com>, is available in the
-contrib/minizip directory of zlib.
-
-
-Notes for some targets:
-
-- For Windows DLL versions, please see win32/DLL_FAQ.txt
-
-- For 64-bit Irix, deflate.c must be compiled without any optimization. With
- -O, one libpng test fails. The test works in 32 bit mode (with the -n32
- compiler flag). The compiler bug has been reported to SGI.
-
-- zlib doesn't work with gcc 2.6.3 on a DEC 3000/300LX under OSF/1 2.1 it works
- when compiled with cc.
-
-- On Digital Unix 4.0D (formely OSF/1) on AlphaServer, the cc option -std1 is
- necessary to get gzprintf working correctly. This is done by configure.
-
-- zlib doesn't work on HP-UX 9.05 with some versions of /bin/cc. It works with
- other compilers. Use "make test" to check your compiler.
-
-- gzdopen is not supported on RISCOS or BEOS.
-
-- For PalmOs, see http://palmzlib.sourceforge.net/

- The deflate format used by zlib was defined by Phil Katz. The deflate and
- zlib specifications were written by L. Peter Deutsch. Thanks to all the
- people who reported problems and suggested various improvements in zlib; they
