The latest version of zlib, a general purpose data compression library,
is now available from simtelnet. You can find the source and
binary distributions (zlib112[bs].zip) in the v2tk directory.


What is zlib ?

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 compressed data format is that of pkzip, zip and gzip, and zlib
supports completely transparent access to .gz and .zip files.

Please consider supporting compressed files in your applications.
