+zlib 1.1.3 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 
+ftp://ds.internic.net/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 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 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@quest.jpl.nasa.gov>, or to
+Gilles Vollant <info@winimage.com> for the Windows DLL version.
+The zlib home page is http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/
+The official zlib ftp site is ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/
+Before reporting a problem, please check those sites to verify that
+you have the latest version of zlib; otherwise get the latest version and
+check whether the problem still exists or not.

+Mark Nelson <markn@tiny.com> wrote an article about zlib for the Jan. 1997
+issue of  Dr. Dobb's Journal; a copy of the article is available in
+http://web2.airmail.net/markn/articles/zlibtool/zlibtool.htm
+
+The changes made in version 1.1.3 are documented in the file ChangeLog.
+The main changes since 1.1.2 are:
+
+- fix "an inflate input buffer bug that shows up on rare but persistent
+  occasions" (Mark)
+- fix gzread and gztell for concatenated .gz files (Didier Le Botlan)
+- fix gzseek(..., SEEK_SET) in write mode
+- fix crc check after a gzeek (Frank Faubert)
+- fix miniunzip when the last entry in a zip file is itself a zip file
+  (J Lillge)
+- add contrib/asm586 and contrib/asm686 (Brian Raiter)
+  See http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/assembly.html
+- add support for Delphi 3 in contrib/delphi (Bob Dellaca)
+- add support for C++Builder 3 and Delphi 3 in contrib/delphi2 (Davide Moretti)
+- do not exit prematurely in untgz if 0 at start of block (Magnus Holmgren)
+- use macro EXTERN instead of extern to support DLL for BeOS (Sander Stoks)
+- added a FAQ file
+
+plus many changes for portability.
+
+Unsupported third party contributions are provided in directory "contrib".
+
+A Java implementation of zlib is available in the Java Development Kit 1.1
+http://www.javasoft.com/products/JDK/1.1/docs/api/Package-java.util.zip.html
+See the zlib home page http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/ for details.
+
+A Perl interface to zlib written by Paul Marquess <pmarquess@bfsec.bt.co.uk>
+is in the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) sites, such as:
+ftp://ftp.cis.ufl.edu/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/by-module/Compress/Compress-Zlib*
+
+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.westend.com/~kupries/doc/trf/man/man.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 at http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/unzip.html
+and also in the contrib/minizip directory of zlib.
+
+
+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 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 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
+
+- For PalmOs, see http://www.cs.uit.no/~perm/PASTA/pilot/software.html
+  Per Harald Myrvang <perm@stud.cs.uit.no>

+  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.
