 zlib 0.8 is a beta version of a general purpose compression library.
 This is the first version with no known bugs. (There may still be
 problem on SGI, to be checked.)

 The data format used by the zlib library is described in the
 file 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.
 To compile all files and run the test program, just type: make test

 The changes made in version 0.8 are documented in the file ChangeLog.
 The main changes since 0.71 are:
 - added fast inflate (inffast.c)
 - deflate(Z_FINISH) now returns Z_STREAM_END when done. Warning: this
   is incompatible with previous versions of zlib which returned Z_OK.
 - work around a nasty TurboC compiler bug

 On MSDOS, this version works in both large and small model. However
 small model compression works only for small values of MEM_LEVEL and
 WBITS (see zutil.h). Small model decompression should work up to WBITS=15.
 This version of zlib does not yet support small or medium model with
 far allocation of big objects.
