  1. PROJECT
  2. The zziplib provides read access to zipped files in a zip-archive,
  3. using compression based solely on free algorithms provided by zlib.
  4. It also provides a functionality to overlay the archive filesystem
  5. with the filesystem of the operating system environment.
  6. AUTHOR
  7. The project was originally written by Tomi Ollila, later largely
  8. rewritten by Guido Draheim, and extended with contributions in
  9. the years to follow. Guido Draheim <guidod@gmx.de> holds the full
  10. copyright to the zziplib sources.
  11. COPYING
  12. The zziplib may be used freely under the restrictions of the
  13. GNU Lesser General Public License version 2 or later. Alternativly
  14. the Mozilla Public license can be chosen. The sources are under
  15. a dual license, as long as the MPL hint is not removed, the modified
  16. files will be again under a dual license for the final recipient.
  17. LICENSING
  18. If you can not use a dynalinked library according to LGPL rules,
  19. then look at docs/copying.htm for a few hints. Generally the LGPL
  20. has a way for staticlinking as well as the MPL has a way. Anyway,
  21. special (paid) licenses can be negotiated with the copyright holder.
  22. HOMEPAGE
  23. The zziplib project is hosted at SourceForge, the complete
  24. documentation can be found at http://zziplib.sf.net - the
  25. SourceForge servers are also used to distribute the sources
  26. of the zziplib project. Releases are announced via the
  27. freshmeat services on http://freshmeat.net/projects/zziplib
  28. INSTALLATION
  29. The zziplib sources are built with gnu autotools and they should
  30. be easy to install on unixish systems via the usual sequence of
  31. `configure && make && make check && make install`. Many distributors
  32. ship prebuilt packages e.g. in rpm format. Additionally there are
  33. MSVC project files shipped along for usage with the Microsoft
  34. VisualC series of compilers. There should be no problem either
  35. when crosscompiling the zziplib for a third host platform.
  36. MAINTAINANCE
  37. The zziplib library is intentionally a lightweight interface to
  38. zip files. The author take patches but please consider to put
  39. complex extensions into separate modules rather than implanting them
  40. right into the core of the library engine. All Patches and Bug Reports
  41. should be sent to Guido Draheim <guidod@gmx.de>.
