[Zlib-devel] infnew-5 available for testing

[Mark Adler]

zlib devels,

Version 5 of the new inflate code is available for testing here:

     http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~madler/infnew-5.tar.gz

This new code can be applied to zlib 1.1.4 as follows (Unix example):

     gnutar xvfz zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz
     cd zlib-1.1.4
     gnutar xvfz ../infnew-5.tar.gz
     patch zlib.h zlib.h-1.2.diff
     rm infblock.* infcodes.* infutil.*
     ./configure
     [ ... make your own modifications to Makefile as needed ... ]
     make test
     [ ... test zlib with your applications ... ]

This version improves the inflateBack() interface and fixed a stored 
block bug in inflateBack().  I have also included a source file "ung.c" 
which is a command line program similar to gunzip that provides an 
example of the use of inflateBack().  It can be compiled simply by 
linking with libz.a.
