50 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant Important
51 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant ---------
52 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant - To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the
53 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files.
54 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant
55 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant
56 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant Additional notes
57 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant ----------------
58 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant - This DLL, named zlibwapi.dll, is compatible to the old zlib.dll built
59 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant by Gilles Vollant from the zlib 1.1.x sources, and distributed at
60 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
61 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant It uses the WINAPI calling convention for the exported functions, and
62 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant includes the minizip functionality. If your application needs that
63 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant particular build of zlib.dll, you can rename zlibwapi.dll to zlib.dll.
64 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant
65 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant - The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible
66 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant versions of zlib.dll on the Internet.
67 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant
68 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant - There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one
69 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file
70 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution.
71 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant
72 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant - There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol
73 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do
74 1.1.1.3.8.1 perseant not define it here.
