+zlib 0.92 is a beta version of a general purpose compression library.
+
+The data format used by the zlib library is described in the
+files zlib-3.1.doc, deflate-1.1.doc and gzip-4.1.doc, available
+in ftp.uu.net:/pub/archiving/zip/doc.
+
+All functions of the compression library are documented in the file
+zlib.h. A usage example of the library is given in the file example.c
+which also tests that the library is working correctly.
+
+To compile all files and run the test program, just type: make test
+(For MSDOS, use one of the special makefiles such as Makefile.msc.)
+To install the zlib library (libgz.a) in /usr/local/lib, type: make install
+To install in a different directory, use for example: make install prefix=$HOME
+This will install in $HOME/lib instead of /usr/local/lib.
+
+The changes made in version 0.92 are documented in the file ChangeLog.
+The main changes since 0.9 are:
+- don't assume that char is signed (problem on SGI)
+- Default MEM_LEVEL is 8 (not 9 for Unix) as documented in zlib.h
+- Document the memory requirements in zconf.h
+- added "make install"
+- added support for DJGPP and Pyramid
+- fix an inflate bug for stored blocks.
+- various speedups
+
+On MSDOS, this version works in both large and small model. However
+small model compression works only for small values of MAX_MEM_LEVEL
+and MAX_WBITS (see zconf.h). Small model decompression should work up
+to MAX_WBITS=15.  This version of zlib does not support small or
+medium model with far allocation of big objects.
