  • zlib.dll & bzlib2.dll

    From Alan Ianson@1:153/757 to All on Mon Nov 25 02:07:12 2019
    Hello All,

    The example binkd.conf mentions zlib.dll and bzlib2.dll in the zlib compression section.

    I suppose those running in a windows environment need those files in order to enable zlib and bzlib2 compression?

    Where can those files be obtained?

    Ttyl :-),
    Al

    Modern binkd for win32/64 have a built-in compression support.

    Is using zallow:* enough to get this working with those builds?
    Or do I need to use zlevel and zminsize also to enable this feature?

    Thanks,Paul

    "zallow *" should enable it, but a bit of fine tuning is recomended.
    These are my settings:

    zlevel 9
    zminsize 1024
    zallow *.PKT *.[0-9][0-9][0-9]
    zdeny *.SU? *.MO? *.TU? *.WE? *.TH? *.FR? *.SA?
    zdeny *.ZIP *.RAR *.ARJ *.HA *.LHA *.7Z *.GZ *.TGZ *.BZ2 *.XZ *.[ALRZ][0-9][0-9]
    zdeny *.mp[0-9]
    zallow *


    Cheers, Michiel
