     ZLIB DATA COMPRESSION LIBRARY
     
     zlib 1.2.3 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)
     and rfc1952.txt (gzip format). These documents are also available in other
     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
    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 Unix: "./configure; make test; make install". For MSDOS, use one
    of the special makefiles such as Makefile.msc. 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://www.zlib.org or http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ 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://www.gzip.org/zlib/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 in
    http://dogma.net/markn/articles/zlibtool/zlibtool.htm
    
    The changes made in version 1.2.3 are documented in the file ChangeLog.
    
    Unsupported third party contributions are provided in directory "contrib".
    
    A Java implementation of zlib is available in the Java Development Kit
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/zip/package-summary.html
    See the zlib home page http://www.zlib.org for details.
    
    A Perl interface to zlib written by Paul Marquess <pmqs@cpan.org> is in the
    CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) sites
    http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Compress/
    
    A Python interface to zlib written by A.M. Kuchling <amk@amk.ca> is
    available in Python 1.5 and later versions, see
    http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-zlib.html
    
    A zlib binding for TCL written by Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> is
    availlable at http://www.oche.de/~akupries/soft/trf/trf_zip.html
    
    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, BEOS and by some Mac compilers.
    
    - For PalmOs, see http://palmzlib.sourceforge.net/
    
    - 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.
    
    
    Acknowledgments:
    
      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 are too numerous to cite here.
