-Frequently Asked Question:
-
-Q: Each time I use the compress function I get the -5 error (not enough
- room in the output buffer).
-
-A: Make sure that the length of the compressed buffer is passed by
- reference ("as any"), not by value ("as long"). Also check that
- before the call of compress this length is equal to the total size of
- the compressed buffer and not zero.

-Got the answer! (I haven't had time to check this but it's what I got, and
-looks correct):
-
-He has the following routines working:
- compress
- uncompress
- gzopen
- gzwrite
- gzread
- gzclose
-
-Declares follow: (Quoted from Carlos Rios <c_rios@sonda.cl>, in Vb4 form)
-
-#If Win16 Then 'Use Win16 calls.

-Here is another example from Michael <michael_borgsys@hotmail.com> that he
-says conforms to the VB guidelines, and that solves the problem of not
-knowing the uncompressed size by storing it at the end of the file:
-
-'Calling the functions:
-'bracket meaning: <parameter> [optional] {Range of possible values}
-'Call subCompressFile(<path with filename to compress> [, <path with
-filename to write to>, [level of compression {1..9}]])
-'Call subUncompressFile(<path with filename to compress>)
-
-Option Explicit
-Private lngpvtPcnSml As Long 'Stores value for 'lngPercentSmaller'
-Private Const SUCCESS As Long = 0
-Private Const strFilExt As String = ".cpr"
-Private Declare Function lngfncCpr Lib "zlib.dll" Alias "compress2" (ByRef
-dest As Any, ByRef destLen As Any, ByRef src As Any, ByVal srcLen As Long,
-ByVal level As Integer) As Long
-Private Declare Function lngfncUcp Lib "zlib.dll" Alias "uncompress" (ByRef
-dest As Any, ByRef destLen As Any, ByRef src As Any, ByVal srcLen As Long)
-As Long
