        ZLIB version 1.2.2 for AS400 installation instructions

I) From an AS400 *SAVF file:

1)      Unpacking archive to an AS400 save file

On the AS400:

_       Create the ZLIB AS400 library:

        CRTLIB LIB(ZLIB) TYPE(PROD) TEXT('ZLIB compression API library')

_       Create a work save file, for example:

                CRTSAVF FILE(ZLIB/ZLIBSAVF)

On a PC connected to the target AS400:

_       Unpack the save file image to a PC file "ZLIBSAVF"
_       Upload this file into the save file on the AS400, for example
                using ftp in BINARY mode.


2)      Populating the ZLIB AS400 source library

On the AS400:

_       Extract the saved objects into the ZLIB AS400 library using:

RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(ZLIB) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(ZLIB/ZLIBSAVF) RSTLIB(ZLIB)


3)      Customize installation:

_       Edit CL member ZLIB/TOOLS(COMPILE) and change parameters if needed,
                according to the comments.

_       Compile this member with:

        CRTCLPGM PGM(ZLIB/COMPILE) SRCFILE(ZLIB/TOOLS) SRCMBR(COMPILE)


4)      Compile and generate the service program:

_       This can now be done by executing:

        CALL PGM(ZLIB/COMPILE)


II) From the original source distribution:

1)      On the AS400, create the source library:

        CRTLIB LIB(ZLIB) TYPE(PROD) TEXT('ZLIB compression API library')

2)      Create the source files:

        CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/SOURCES) RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library modules')
        CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/H)       RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library includes')
        CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/TOOLS)   RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library control utilities')

3)      From the machine hosting the distribution files, upload them (with
                FTP in text mode, for example) according to the following table:

Notes:  For AS400 ILE RPG programmers, a /copy member defining the ZLIB
                API prototypes for ILE RPG can be found in ZLIB/H(ZLIB.INC).
                Please read comments in this member for more information.

        Remember that most foreign textual data are ASCII coded: this
                implementation does not handle conversion from/to ASCII, so
                text data code conversions must be done explicitely.

        Always open zipped files in binary mode.
