| 1 zlib 0.95 is a beta version of a general purpose compression library. | |
| 2 This should be the last version before the first official | |
| 3 version (1.0), so please test it now. (At least compile and run it with | |
| 4 "make test"). This version has no known bugs. | |
| 5 | |
| 6 The data format used by the zlib library is described in the | |
| 7 files zlib-3.1.doc, deflate-1.1.doc and gzip-4.1.doc, available | |
| 8 in ftp.uu.net:/pub/archiving/zip/doc. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 All functions of the compression library are documented in the file | |
| 11 zlib.h. A usage example of the library is given in the file example.c | |
| 12 which also tests that the library is working correctly. Another | |
| 13 example is given in the file minigzip.c. | |
| 14 | |
| 15 To compile all files and run the test program, just type: make test | |
| 16 (For MSDOS, use one of the special makefiles such as Makefile.msc; | |
| 17 for VMS, use Make_vms.com or descrip.mms.) | |
| 18 To install the zlib library (libz.a) in /usr/local/lib, type: make install | |
| 19 To install in a different directory, use for example: | |
| 20 make install prefix=$HOME | |
| 21 This will install in $HOME/lib instead of /usr/local/lib. | |
| 22 | |
| 23 The changes made in version 0.95 are documented in the file ChangeLog. | |
| 24 The main changes since 0.94 are: | |
| 25 - fix MSDOS small and medium model (now easier to adapt to any compiler) | |
| 26 - inlined send_bits | |
| 27 - fix the final (:-) bug for deflate with flush (output was correct but | |
| 28 not completely flushed in rare occasions). | |
| 29 | |
| 30 For MSDOS, the small and medium models have been tested only with Microsoft C. | |
| 31 (This should now work for Borland C also, but I don't have a recent Borland | |
| 32 compiler to test with.) The small model was tested with Turbo C but only with | |
| 33 reduced performance to avoid any far allocation; it was tested with | |
| 34 -DMAX_WBITS=11 -DMAX_MEM_LEVEL=3 | |
