Description:

"A massively spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library."

'zlib' is a free, general-purpose, legally unencumbered lossless

data-compression library. 'zlib' implements the "deflate" compression

algorithm described by RFC 1951, which combines the LZ77 (Lempel-Ziv)

algorithm with Huffman coding. zlib also implements the zlib (RFC 1950) and

gzip (RFC 1952) wrapper formats.

Local Modifications:

The files in this directory have been prepared as follows.

- Take the unmodified source code files from the zlib distribution that are

included by `ftgzip.c`.

- Copy `zconf.h` to `ftzconf.h` (which stays unmodified otherwise).

- Apply the diff file(s) in the `patches` folder.
