Zlib, Utilities, Compression/Decompression Library

Zlib is a compression/decompression library used by several software
packages, including MySQL and Python.

By default, the installation procedure installs this library package in
the |SYS$COMMON:[LIBZ]| directory. To install it in another directory,
dev:[dir], use the |/DESTINATION| parameter of the |PRODUCT| command. In
this case, the library package will be installed in the |dev:[dir.LIBZ]|
directory.


        Installation

   1. Make the directory which holds the ZIP file your default directory
   2. Extract the PCSI kit from the ZIP archive.

$ UNZIP "-V" ZLIB-V0102-1-1

   3. Install the Zlib package to your chosen destination.

$ PRODUCT INSTALL zlib  /(default)/

or ...

$ PRODUCT INSTALL zlib /DESTINATION=dev:[dir]

   4. Finally, run the DCL procedure |STARTUP.COM| to define the
      necessary logicals.

(You might want to add the relevant line to your |SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM| file.)

$ @SYS$COMMON:[LIBZ]STARTUP  /(default)/

  or ...

$ @dev:[dir.LIBZ]:STARTUP
