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 or +descrip.mms. + +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 1.2.1 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@magnet.com> 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. + +Copyright notice: + + (C) 1995-2003 Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler + + This software is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied + warranty.
