-(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.

-Mark Nelson wrote an article about zlib for the Jan. 1997 issue of
-Dr. Dobb's Journal; a copy of the article is available in

-
-The changes made in version 1.0.8 are documented in the file ChangeLog.
-The main changes since 1.0.7 are:
-
-- fixed offsets in contrib/asm386/gvmat32.asm (Gilles Vollant)
-- fix gzgetc and gzputc for big endian systems (Markus Oberhumer)
-- added compress2() to allow setting the compression level
-- include sys/types.h to get off_t on some systems (Marc Lehmann & QingLong)
-- use constant arrays for the static trees in trees.c instead of computing
- them at run time (thanks to Ken Raeburn for this suggestion). To create
- trees.h, compile with GEN_TREES_H and run "make test".
-- check return code of example in "make test" and display result
-- pass minigzip command line options to file_compress

-Unsupported third party contributions are provided in directory "contrib".
