Subject:	ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of lzlib 1.8 uploaded.
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is a port of lzlib 1.8 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

   lzlib is a data compression library providing in-memory LZMA compression
   and decompression functions, including integrity checking of the
   decompressed data. The compressed data format used by the library is the
   lzip format. lzlib is written in C.


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

   - There are no DJGPP specific changes to the library.  Only the minilzip
     program has been changed to work like the port of Clzip when only SFN
     support is avaliable.  minilzip is only build for testing purposes and
     not installed at all.

   - LFN support enabled is required to run the testsuite.  The test data is
     binary data thus the used unzip program must treat them as binary and
     not as text data.

   - The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3 and Win98SE.
     There is no guarantee that this may be possible with any other DOS-like
     OS.  Due to the massive use of long file names it will not be possible
     to configure and compile without LFN support.

   To build this port you will need an OS with LFN support to configure and
   compile the source package.

   As usual, all djgpp specific files (diffs, README files, etc.) are stored in
   the /djgpp directory.  The sources have been configured to be build in the
   "_build" directory.  If for some reason it does not work for you, delete it
   contents and configure from scratch again.

   For further information about lzlib please read the info docs and NEWS file.



   This is a verbatim extract of the NEWS file:

   The port consists of the usual three packages produced using djdev205
   that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (time stamp 2017-02-11):
