zlib is standard on Windows and comes in the RH RPMs. That's close 
enough for me <wink>.

It's on the contrib site under System, but that's in the 
Windows-only form (an exe). It will soon have a homepage on starship. 
I'll again offer the inner pieces as tar.gz, but when I did that 
before (on my now defunct corporate site) I didn't get any takers.

[BTW, I'm not on this SIG, I just check it periodically].
