+ Building instructions for the DLL versions of Zlib 1.21
+ =======================================================
+ 
+ This directory contains projects that build zlib and minizip using
+ Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0/7.1.
+ 
+ You don't need to build these projects yourself. You can download the
+ binaries from:
+   http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
+ 
+ More information can be found at this site.
+ 
+ 
+ Build instructions
+ ------------------
+ - Unzip zlib*.zip and copy the files from contrib\vstudio\vc7,
+   from contrib\vstudio\masmx86 and from contrib\minizip into the same
+   directory.
+ - Download the crtdll library from
+     http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/crtdll.zip
+   Unzip crtdll.zip to extract crtdll.lib.
+ - If you are using x86, use the Release target.
+ - Open zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0 or 7.1
+   (Visual Studio .Net 2002 or 2003).
+ 
+ 
+ Important
+ ---------
+ - To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the
+   macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files.
+ 
+ 
+ Additional notes
+ ----------------
+ - This DLL, named zlibwapi.dll, is compatible to the old zlib.dll built
+   by Gilles Vollant from the zlib 1.1.x sources, and distributed at
+     http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
+   It uses the WINAPI calling convention for the exported functions, and
+   includes the minizip functionality. If your application needs that
+   particular build of zlib.dll, you can rename zlibwapi.dll to zlib.dll.
+ 
+ - The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible
+   versions of zlib.dll on the Internet.
+ 
+ - There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one
+   is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file
+   win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution.
+ 
+ - There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol
+   has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do
+   not define it here.
