   1305   gzsetparams (thanks to Roland Giersig and Kevin Ruland for some of this code)
   1306 - Fix a deflate bug occurring only with compression level 0 (thanks to
   1307   Andy Buckler for finding this one)
   1308 - In minigzip, pass transparently also the first byte for .Z files

   1375 
   1376 Changes in 1.0.5 (3 Jan 98)

   1383 Changes in 1.0.4 (24 Jul 96)
   1384 - In very rare conditions, deflate(s, Z_FINISH) could fail to produce an EOF
   1385   bit, so the decompressor could decompress all the correct data but went
   1386   on to attempt decompressing extra garbage data. This affected minigzip too
   1387 - zlibVersion and gzerror return const char* (needed for DLL)
   1388 - port to RISCOS (no fdopen, no multiple dots, no unlink, no fileno)
   1389 - use z_error only for DEBUG (avoid problem with DLLs)
   1390 
   1391 Changes in 1.0.3 (2 Jul 96)
   1392 - use z_streamp instead of z_stream *, which is now a far pointer in MSDOS
   1393   small and medium models; this makes the library incompatible with previous
   1394   versions for these models. (No effect in large model or on other systems.)
   1395 - return OK instead of BUF_ERROR if previous deflate call returned with
   1396   avail_out as zero but there is nothing to do
   1397 - added memcmp for non STDC compilers
   1398 - define NO_DUMMY_DECL for more Mac compilers (.h files merged incorrectly)
   1399 - define __32BIT__ if __386__ or i386 is defined (pb. with Watcom and SCO)
   1400 - better check for 16-bit mode MSC (avoids problem with Symantec)
   1401 
   1402 Changes in 1.0.2 (23 May 96)
   1403 - added Windows DLL support
   1404 - added a function zlibVersion (for the DLL support)
   1405 - fixed declarations using Bytef in infutil.c (pb with MSDOS medium model)
   1406 - Bytef is define's instead of typedef'd only for Borland C
   1407 - avoid reading uninitialized memory in example.c
   1408 - mention in README that the zlib format is now RFC1950
   1409 - updated Makefile.dj2
   1410 - added algorithm.doc

   1546 
   1547 Changes in 0.9 (1 May 95)

   1560 - added fast inflate (inffast.c)
   1561 - deflate(Z_FINISH) now returns Z_STREAM_END when done. Warning: this

   1590 - fix some MSDOS compilation problems
   1591

   1602 Changes in 0.4:
   1603 - avoid "zip" everywhere, use zlib instead of ziplib

   1618 - added gzerror()
   1619
