-(volunteer to write man pages welcome, contact jloup@gzip.org). A usage
-example of the library is given in the file example.c which also tests that
-the library is working correctly. Another example is given in the file
-minigzip.c. The compression library itself is composed of all source files
-except example.c and minigzip.c.
-
-To compile all files and run the test program, follow the instructions
-given at the top of Makefile. In short "make test; make install"
-should work for most machines. For MSDOS, use one of the special
-makefiles such as Makefile.msc; for VMS, use Make_vms.com or descrip.mms.
