Zlib.1.1.1.1.m.README Mar 5, 1998 This archive contains a Rhapsody framework for zlib 1.1.1, a general purpose data compression library. All the code is reentrant (thread safe). The data format used by the zlib library is described by RFCs (Request for Comments) 1950 to 1952 in the files ftp://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc1950.txt (zlib format), rfc1951.txt (deflate format) and rfc1952.txt (gzip format). file: Zlib.1.1.1.1.PI.tar.gz size: 152kb md5sum: 0a59305d966b44fd84710373b4b319cc INSTALLATION Upack the archive: > gnutar xzvf Zlib.1.1.1.1.PI.tar.gz Install the framework to /LocalLibrary/Frameworks. This is the easiest place to put it, and software built with this framework expects it to be there. Alternate locations are possible, only if you know what you are doing and/or you don't mind playing with the Makefile in the framework to change the default installation parameters. NOTES I cheated to make this framework. It's not a TRUE framework built with ProjectBuilder, but a homebrew concoction I've made to imitate the real thing. I just wanted a dylib version of the library, and this is the result. I cheated building this package. The .tar.Z inside the pkg wrapper is REALLY a .tar.gz archive, which makes this package much smaller. The installer.sh doesn't mind, since it just pipes it to gzip and gnutar. Boy, I'm cheating a lot! (-: CHANGELOG Mar 2, 1998 - First attempt (Rhapsody) - Upgrade to zlib-1.1.1 Jan 26, 1998 - First attempt (OpenStep) - Changed named from (originally) Z to Zlib (taking a hint from Omnigroup's OmniZlib.framework. Besides, Z.framework isn't very descriptive. - Added (and built) zlib-1.0.7 found at ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/src/ CREDITS Framework Build Rex Dieter Computer System Manager University of Nebraska-Lincoln Department of Mathematics and Statistics http://www.math.unl.edu/~rdieter/ Zlib source ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/src/
