Hello rebolist, just want to let you know that today I did something I wanted to do a long time ago:
zlib compressor/decompressor using zlib.dll (version 1.2.3) Rebol has compress/decompress functions (which are basically zlib as well, but is using some old version or has some unknown problem so it's not able to decompress some of ziped files. I must say it again: Rebol's dll and binary support is not easy and intuitive at all. It was really hard to find out how to get pointer to integer value (if I can talk about unsigned long integers like about Rebol's integers) and the way I found doesn't look nice at all. Never mind. I got what I needed to work. You can download it with compiled zlib.dll for windows here: http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/zlib_latest.rip and you will need this Ladislavs' script as well: http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/memory-tools_latest.rip cheers, Oldes PS: The files are RIP archives so you must first run them to decompress included files PPS: It would be possible to use more functions from this dll, but I needed just the decompress function. For more info look at http://www.zlib.org - the official zlib web page. -- Best regards, rebOldes -----------------[ http://oldes.multimedia.cz/ ] -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
