+zlib 0.95 is a beta version of a general purpose compression library.
+This should be the last version before the first official
+version (1.0), so please test it now. (At least compile and run it with
+"make test"). This version has no known bugs.
+
+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. Another
+example is given in the file minigzip.c.
+
+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;
+for VMS, use Make_vms.com or descrip.mms.)
+To install the zlib library (libz.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 0.95 are documented in the file ChangeLog.
+The main changes since 0.94 are:
+- fix MSDOS small and medium model (now easier to adapt to any compiler)
+- inlined send_bits
+- fix the final (:-) bug for deflate with flush (output was correct but
+  not completely flushed in rare occasions).
+
+For MSDOS, the small and medium models have been tested only with Microsoft C.
+(This should now work for Borland C also, but I don't have a recent Borland
+compiler to test with.) The small model was tested with Turbo C but only with
+reduced performance to avoid any far allocation; it was tested with
+ -DMAX_WBITS=11 -DMAX_MEM_LEVEL=3
