+Installing ZLIB1.DLL
+====================
+ Copy ZLIB1.DLL to the SYSTEM or the SYSTEM32 directory.
+
+
+Using ZLIB1.DLL with Microsoft Visual C++
+=========================================
+ 1. Install the supplied header files "zlib.h" and "zconf.h"
+ into a directory found in the INCLUDE path list.
+
+ 2. Install the supplied library file "zdll.lib" into a
+ directory found in the LIB path list.
+
+ 3. Add "zdll.lib" to your project.
+
+
+Using ZLIB1.DLL with gcc/MinGW
+==============================
+ 1. Install the supplied header files "zlib.h" and "zconf.h"
+ into the INCLUDE directory.
+
+ 2. Copy the supplied library file "zdll.lib" to "libzdll.a":
+ cp lib/zdll.lib lib/libzdll.a
+
+ OR
+
+ 2' Build the import library from the supplied "zlib.def":
+ dlltool -D zlib1.dll -d lib/zlib.def -l lib/libzdll.a
+
+ 3. Install "libzdll.a" into the LIB directory.
+
+ 4. Add "libzdll.a" to your project, or use the -lzdll option.
+
+
+Using ZLIB1.DLL with gcc/Cygwin
+===============================
+ ZLIB1.DLL is not designed to work with Cygwin. The Cygwin
+ system has its own DLL build of zlib, named CYGZ.DLL.
+
+
+Using ZLIB1.DLL with Borland C++
+================================
+ 1. Install the supplied header files "zlib.h" and "zconf.h"
+ into a directory found in the INCLUDE path list.
+
+ 2. Build the import library using the IMPLIB tool:
+ implib -a -c -f lib\zdllbor.lib zlib1.dll
+
+ OR
+
+ 2' Convert the supplied library file "zdll.lib" to OMF format,
+ using the COFF2OMF tool:
+ coff2omf lib\zdll.lib lib\zdllbor.lib
+
+ 3. Install "zdllbor.lib" into a directory found in the LIB path
+ list.
+
+ 4. Add "zdllbor.lib" to your project.
+
+ Notes:
+ - The modules that are linked with "zdllbor.lib" must be compiled
+ using a 4-byte alignment (option -a):
+ bcc32 -a -c myprog.c
+ bcc32 myprog.obj zdllbor.lib
+ - If you wish, you may use "zlib1.lib" instead of "zdllbor.lib".
+
+
+Rebuilding ZLIB1.DLL
+====================
+ Depending on your build environment, use the appropriate
+ makefile from the win32/ directory, found in the zlib source
+ distribution.
+
+ Your custom build has to comply with the requirements stated
+ in DLL_FAQ.txt, including (but not limited to) the following:
+ - It must be built from an unaltered zlib source distribution.
+ - It must be linked to MSVCRT.DLL.
+ - The macros that compile out certain portions of the zlib
+ code (such as NO_GZCOMPRESS, NO_GZIP) must not be enabled.
+ - The ZLIB_WINAPI macro must not be enabled.
+
+ Furthermore, it has to run successfully with the test suite
+ found in this package.
+
+ It is recommended, however, to use the supplied ZLIB1.DLL,
+ instead of rebuilding it yourself. You should rebuild it
+ only if you have a special reason.
