50Important
51---------
52- To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the
53 macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files.

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