This is a port of zlib 1.3 to MSDOS/DJGPP.


  zlib 1.3 is a free, general purpose data compression/decompression library
  as used in gzip.  All the code is thread safe.


  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  There are no DJGPP specific changes.  Only the usual configuration
  files have been added.  They are located in the "djgpp" directory.

  The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3, Win98SE and
  MSDOS 6.22 with DOSLFN v0.41f.  There is no guarantee that this may
  be possible with any other DOS-like OS.  Due to the use of long file
  names it will not be possible to configure and compile without LFN
  support.  The port has been compiled using gcc346 and bnu2351b.

  The port has been tested by using it.  I have used them only on WinXP.
  It has worked flawlessly.  I do not konw if this will ever be the case
  on FreeDOS.  I have never used/tested them in that environment.

  To be able to build this port you may need to have LFN support.

  As usual, all djgpp specific files (diffs, README files, etc.) are stored in
  the "djgpp" directory.  The sources have been configured to be build in the
  "0build" directory.  If for some reason it does not work for you, delete its
  contents and configure from scratch again.

  For further information about zlib please read the docs and
  NEWS file.


  Here is an extract of the home page showing the user visible changes
  from the last port (zlib 1.2.13) to this one:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.3 has these key updates from 1.2.13:

    Building using K&R (pre-ANSI) function definitions is no longer supported.
    Fixed a bug in deflateBound() for level 0 and memLevel 9.
    Fixed a bug when gzungetc() is used immediately after gzopen().
    Fixed a bug when using gzflush() with a very small buffer.
    Fixed a crash when gzsetparams() is attempted for a transparent write.
    Fixed test/example.c to work with FORCE_STORED.
    Fixed minizip to allow it to open an empty zip file.
    Fixed reading disk number start on zip64 files in minizip.
    Fixed a logic error in minizip argument processing.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------




  The port consists of the usual two packages that have been produced using
  djdev20X (CVS repository code) and can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com
  and mirrors as (time stamp 2023-10-01):
