gzip determinism

[dirvine]

Hi

We are using gzip in the middle of a process that must return the same
data when used in various operating systems. IT's all great but we
have found the gzip implementation is producing differing results in
windows and linux. By different I mean the actual compressed output is
different.

I know this is not a stipulation of the algorithm, but does anyone
know where in cryptopp this difference is occurring and how it may be
remedied ?

Thanks for any reply, it would be a huge help as we would prefer to
stick to the cryptopp implementation if possible (in case of some
pipelining opportunities).

Scratch that (blush), it is deterministic if you feed it the same
inputs (and line endings :-)) )
