Subject: [Rd] [rfc] Package to access the internal zlib library.
Message-ID: <874pcvu415.fsf@sparse.yi.org>

To make R.matlab's readMat work for me[1] I needed access to zlib's
uncompress function.  R already links with zlib, and sometime last
year I hobbled together a quick package to get at a few functions.
It's my first package, so I would love feedback both on the package
and its purpose.

I've dropped a temporary copy at
  http://jriedy.users.sonic.net/internalzlib_0.1.tar.gz

Could someone with Windows and knowledge of how to decypher Windows
problems test if it works for them?  I still need to try AIX as well.

Jason

Footnotes: 
[1]  I'm cleaning patches to send to the author shortly.  I think
I have readMat working for compressed data, UTF-*, and sparse
matrices now.
