+ ZLIB version 1.2.3 for AS400 installation instructions
+
+I) From an AS400 *SAVF file:
+
+1) Unpacking archive to an AS400 save file
+
+On the AS400:
+
+_ Create the ZLIB AS400 library:
+
+ CRTLIB LIB(ZLIB) TYPE(PROD) TEXT('ZLIB compression API library')
+
+_ Create a work save file, for example:
+
+ CRTSAVF FILE(ZLIB/ZLIBSAVF)
+
+On a PC connected to the target AS400:
+
+_ Unpack the save file image to a PC file "ZLIBSAVF"
+_ Upload this file into the save file on the AS400, for example
+ using ftp in BINARY mode.
+
+
+2) Populating the ZLIB AS400 source library
+
+On the AS400:
+
+_ Extract the saved objects into the ZLIB AS400 library using:
+
+RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(ZLIB) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(ZLIB/ZLIBSAVF) RSTLIB(ZLIB)
+
+
+3) Customize installation:
+
+_ Edit CL member ZLIB/TOOLS(COMPILE) and change parameters if needed,
+ according to the comments.
+
+_ Compile this member with:
+
+ CRTCLPGM PGM(ZLIB/COMPILE) SRCFILE(ZLIB/TOOLS) SRCMBR(COMPILE)
+
+
+4) Compile and generate the service program:
+
+_ This can now be done by executing:
+
+ CALL PGM(ZLIB/COMPILE)
+
+
+
+II) From the original source distribution:
+
+1) On the AS400, create the source library:
+
+ CRTLIB LIB(ZLIB) TYPE(PROD) TEXT('ZLIB compression API library')
+
+2) Create the source files:
+
+ CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/SOURCES) RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library modules')
+ CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/H) RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library includes')
+ CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/TOOLS) RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library control utilities')
+
+3) From the machine hosting the distribution files, upload them (with
+ FTP in text mode, for example) according to the following table:
+
+ Original AS400 AS400 AS400 AS400

+
+
+Notes: For AS400 ILE RPG programmers, a /copy member defining the ZLIB
+ API prototypes for ILE RPG can be found in ZLIB/H(ZLIB.INC).
+ Please read comments in this member for more information.
+
+ Remember that most foreign textual data are ASCII coded: this
+ implementation does not handle conversion from/to ASCII, so
+ text data code conversions must be done explicitely.
+
+ Always open zipped files in binary mode.
