Short: Data compression library V1.1.3 Author: mlelstv@serpens.swb.de Uploader: mlelstv serpens swb de Type: util/libs Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a port of the standard "zlib 1.1.3" library created by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler. zlib uses an algorithm similar to the one used in the popular gzip program. It has been partially converted into an AmigaOS shared library except for some convenience functions that sit on top of the stdio library. These functions are kept in a linker library compatible with the SAS/C compiler. Programs that require zlib can simply link against the linker library. Except for some changes required for the shared library the only other change is an 68k assembler version of the longest_match routine which is the heart of the compressor. As a result this library reaches about 90% the speed of the gzip program. The remaining speed difference comes from the SAS/C compiler used (compared to GNU C for gzip).
