| 1 zlib 0.92 is a beta version of a general purpose compression library. | |
| 2 | |
| 3 The data format used by the zlib library is described in the | |
| 4 files zlib-3.1.doc, deflate-1.1.doc and gzip-4.1.doc, available | |
| 5 in ftp.uu.net:/pub/archiving/zip/doc. | |
| 6 | |
| 7 All functions of the compression library are documented in the file | |
| 8 zlib.h. A usage example of the library is given in the file example.c | |
| 9 which also tests that the library is working correctly. | |
| 10 | |
| 11 To compile all files and run the test program, just type: make test | |
| 12 (For MSDOS, use one of the special makefiles such as Makefile.msc.) | |
| 13 To install the zlib library (libgz.a) in /usr/local/lib, type: make install | |
| 14 To install in a different directory, use for example: make install prefix=$HOME | |
| 15 This will install in $HOME/lib instead of /usr/local/lib. | |
| 16 | |
| 17 The changes made in version 0.92 are documented in the file ChangeLog. | |
| 18 The main changes since 0.9 are: | |
| 19 - don't assume that char is signed (problem on SGI) | |
| 20 - Default MEM_LEVEL is 8 (not 9 for Unix) as documented in zlib.h | |
| 21 - Document the memory requirements in zconf.h | |
| 22 - added "make install" | |
| 23 - added support for DJGPP and Pyramid | |
| 24 - fix an inflate bug for stored blocks. | |
| 25 - various speedups | |
| 26 | |
| 27 On MSDOS, this version works in both large and small model. However | |
| 28 small model compression works only for small values of MAX_MEM_LEVEL | |
| 29 and MAX_WBITS (see zconf.h). Small model decompression should work up | |
| 30 to MAX_WBITS=15. This version of zlib does not support small or | |
| 31 medium model with far allocation of big objects. | |
