+zlib 1.2.0.7 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://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1950.txt (zlib format), rfc1951.txt (deflate format)
formats from ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/documents/zlib/zdoc-index.html
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 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
issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal; a copy of the article is available in

Notes for some targets:
-- To build a Windows DLL version, include in a DLL project zlib.def, zlib.rc
- and all .c files except example.c and minigzip.c; compile with -DZLIB_DLL The
- zlib DLL support was initially done by Alessandro Iacopetti and is now
- maintained by Gilles Vollant <info@winimage.com>. Check the zlib DLL home
- page at http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
-
- From Visual Basic, you can call the DLL functions which do not take a
- structure as argument: compress, uncompress and all gz* functions. See
- contrib/visual-basic.txt for more information, or get
- http://www.tcfb.com/dowseware/cmp-z-it.zip
+- 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
- For Turbo C the small model is supported only with reduced performance to
avoid any far allocation; it was tested with -DMAX_WBITS=11 -DMAX_MEM_LEVEL=3

+- When building a shared, i.e. dynamic library on Mac OS X, the library must be
+ installed before testing (do "make install" before "make test"), since the
+ library location is specified in the library.
