* Zlib-1.1.4 for Windows *
==========================

What is it?
-----------
Zlib: general purpose data compression/decompression library

Description
-----------
zlib is designed to be a free, general-purpose, legally unencumbered
-- that is, not covered by any patents -- lossless data-compression
library for use on virtually any computer hardware and operating
system. The zlib data format is itself portable across platforms.
Unlike the LZW compression method used in Unix compress(1) and in
the GIF image format, the compression method currently used in zlib
essentially never expands the data. (LZW can double or triple the
file size in extreme cases.) zlib's memory footprint is also
independent of the input data and can be reduced, if necessary,
at some cost in compression.
