 This library can "co-exist" with zlib (libz) in case you need that too.

+=== Getting boinc_zip ===
+
+boinc_zip is no longer in the main boinc subversion "trunk" but resides in this "depends" brance:
+
+svn co http://boinc.berkeley.edu/svn/trunk/depends_projects/zip
+
+Note for Linux/Mac:  To build along with the other boinc libraries, you will need to add the following lines to the bottom of the '''configure.ac''' file (where the various Makefiles are listed):
+
+{{{
+     zip/Makefile
+     zip/zip/Makefile
+     zip/unzip/Makefile
+}}}
+
+
+Similarly for the '''Makefile.am''' file -- add zip, zip/zip and zip/unzip to the library subdirs:
+
+{{{
+if ENABLE_LIBRARIES
+   API_SUBDIRS = api lib zip zip/zip zip/unzip
+endif
+}}}
+
+== Client and Server Compression and Decompression using gzip (zlib) == #gzip
+
+These basic routines may be useful if you want to compress/decompress a file using the zlib library (usually called "libz.a" and available for most platforms).  Include the header file below (qcn_gzip.h) in your program, and link against libz, and you will gain two simple to use functions for gzip'ing or gunzip'ing a file.  This is for simple single file or file-by-file compression or decompression (i.e. one file that is to be compressed into a .gz or decompressed back to it's original uncompressed state).  You can check for boinc client status if you want the ability to quit inside an operation etc.
