As far as I can tell there is no support at all for deflate64 in the regular zlib. The zlib authors certainly say there isn't in the FAQ: http://www.gzip.org/zlib/zlib_faq.html#faq39 so I'm not sure why any files work. I guess deflate64 might not ever be used with files under 32K... > Apparently this has been fixed in MacOSX Darwin and there are patches > for FreeBSD zlib. I can't seem to locate these patches. Do you have any references? The FreeBSD CVS indicates that they have no relevant modifications and I can't seem to see any publically avaliable code for OS X either. There is an implementation in the zlib contrib directory but it isn't very useful for this since it provides a separate API so applications would need specific support to benefit from it. I'm lowering the severity of this bug since it's a request for a new feature. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
