Zlib.1.1.1.1.m.README Mar 5, 1998 These archives contain Installer.app packages of an OpenStep 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.m.NIS.tar.gz size: 264kb md5sum: 47ed1d14869a4a712a868497b0cbb3fc INSTALLATION 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. CHANGELOG Mar 2, 1998 - Upgrade to zlib-1.1.1 Feb 10, 1998 - Upgrade to zlib-1.0.8 Feb 3, 1998 - Put into Installer packages (Bin and Source). Jan 26, 1998 - First attempt - 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/
