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).

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.
