+			ZLib for Ada thick binding (ZLib.Ada)
+			Release 1.2
+
+ZLib.Ada is a thick binding interface to the popular ZLib data
+compression library, available at http://www.gzip.org/zlib/.
+It provides Ada-style access to the ZLib C library.
+
+
+	Here are the main changes since ZLib.Ada 1.1:
+
+- The default header type has a name "Default" now. Auto is used only for
+  automatic GZip/ZLib header detection.
+
+- Added test for multitasking mtest.adb.
+
+- Added GNAT project file zlib.gpr.
+
+
+	How to build ZLib.Ada under GNAT
+
+You should have the ZLib library already build on your computer, before
+building ZLib.Ada. Make the directory of ZLib.Ada sources current and
+issue the command:
+
+  gnatmake test -largs -L<directory where libz.a is> -lz
+
+Or use the GNAT project file build for GNAT 3.15 or later:
+
+  gnatmake -Pzlib.gpr -L<directory where libz.a is>
+
+
+	How to build ZLib.Ada under Aonix ObjectAda for Win32 7.2.2
+
+1. Make a project with all *.ads and *.adb files from the distribution.
+2. Build the libz.a library from the ZLib C sources.
+3. Rename libz.a to z.lib.
+4. Add the library z.lib to the project.
+5. Add the libc.lib library from the ObjectAda distribution to the project.
+6. Build the executable using test.adb as a main procedure.
+
+
+	How to use ZLib.Ada
+
+The source files test.adb and read.adb are small demo programs that show
+the main functionality of ZLib.Ada.
+
+The routines from the package specifications are commented.
