Changes in 1.0.4 (24 Jul 96)

- In very rare conditions, deflate(s, Z_FINISH) could fail to produce an EOF

Changes in 1.0.3 (2 Jul 96)

  small and medium models; this makes the library incompatible with previous

  versions for these models. (No effect in large model or on other systems.)

- return OK instead of BUF_ERROR if previous deflate call returned with

  avail_out as zero but there is nothing to do

- added memcmp for non STDC compilers

- don't use unsized arrays to avoid silly warnings by Visual C++:

     warning C4746: 'inflate_mask' : unsized array treated as  '__far'

  (actually that was not a compiler bug, see 0.81 above)

- gzread no longer reads one extra byte in certain cases

- In gzio destroy(), don't reference a freed structure

- avoid many warnings for MSDOS

- Fixed more MSDOS compilation problems :( There is still a bug with

  TurboC large model.

Changes in 0.7 (14 April 95)

- Added full inflate support.

- Simplified the crc32() interface. The pre- and post-conditioning
