Compatibility notes
===================

- Although the name "zlib" would have been more normal for the
  zlibpas unit, this name is already taken by Borland's ZLib unit.
  This is somehow unfortunate, because that unit is not a genuine

  like "ZStreams", or something similar.

- The C and zlib-supplied types int, uInt, long, uLong, etc. are
  translated directly into Pascal types of similar sizes (Integer,
  LongInt, etc.), to avoid namespace pollution.  In particular,
  there is no conversion of
