This is a port of zlib 1.2.5 to MSDOS/DJGPP.


zlib 1.2.5 is a general purpose data compression/decompression library as
used in gzip. All the code is thread safe.


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

The only DJGPP specific change is that the vsnprintf and snprintf functions
from DJGPP's repository are provided. Apart of this, only the usual configu-
ration files have been added. They are located in the /djgpp directory.

Please read the docs to become familiar with this product.

The port consists of two packages that have been compiled using djdev203 and
that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2010-10-11):
