+zlib 1.0.4 is a general purpose data compression library.  All the code
+is reentrant (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. 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 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,
+if this fails, to the addresses given below in the Copyright section.
+The zlib home page is http://quest.jpl.nasa.gov/zlib/
+
+The changes made in version 1.0.4 are documented in the file ChangeLog.
+The main changes since 1.0.3 are:
+
+- In very rare conditions, deflate(s, Z_FINISH) could fail to produce an EOF
+  bit, so the decompressor could decompress all the correct data but went
+  on to attempt decompressing extra garbage data. This affected minigzip too.
+- zlibVersion and gzerror return const char* (needed for DLL)
+- port to RISCOS (no fdopen, no multiple dots, no unlink, no fileno)
+
+
+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*
+
+
+Notes for some targets:
+
+- 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 64-bit Iris, deflate.c must be compiled without any optimization.
+  With -O, one libpng test fails. The test works in 32 bit mode (with
+  the -32 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.
+
+- zlib doesn't work on HP-UX 9.05 with one cc compiler (the one not
+  accepting the -O option). It works with the other cc compiler.
+
+- 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
+  For help on building a zlib DLL, contact Alessandro Iacopetti
+  <iaco@email.alessandria.alpcom.it>  http://lisa.unial.it/iaco ,
+  or contact Brad Clarke <bclarke@cyberus.ca>.
+
+- gzdopen is not supported on RISCOS

+  The deflate format used by zlib was defined by Phil Katz. The deflate
+  and zlib specifications were written by Peter Deutsch. Thanks to all the
+  people who reported problems and suggested various improvements in zlib;
