I am developing an unzipper, I'd like to use zlib for palm (1.1.3). Does
anyone know how to use this to inflate a non-gzip deflated block of data.
It seems that this lib expects a block of data with a gzip header block.

From the main Zlib FAQ at http://www.zlib.net/:

"11. Can zlib handle .zip archives?
Not by itself, no. See the directory contrib/minizip in the zlib
(source) distribution."

Perhaps that sample code would answer your header question.

I have already written the code to parse the zip into file blocks. The
compressed file binary data is 'raw' - not enclosed in a gzip header block.
It seems to me zlib for palm doesn't want to process this. I was wondering
if anyone knew if there is a way to do that from lib, that I am missing
something.
