'zlib' implements the "deflate" compression 12algorithm described by RFC 1951, which combines the LZ77 (Lempel-Ziv) 13algorithm with Huffman coding. zlib also implements the zlib (RFC 1950) and 14gzip (RFC 1952) wrapper formats. 15 16Local Modifications: 17The files in this directory have been prepared as follows. 18 19 - Take the unmodified source code files from the zlib distribution that are 20 included by `ftgzip.c`. 21 - Run zlib's `zlib2ansi` script on all `.c` files. 22 - Apply the diff file(s) in the `patches` folder. 23
