Does it have to be a port or can it be a wrapper? Sean "Walter" <walter digitalmars.com> wrote in message news:a349bc$19e6$1 digitaldaemon.com...Anyone interested in doing a port? http://www.gzip.org/zlib/

On the one hand, a wrapper is quick & easy, and it's compatible with future revisions to zlib. On the other hand, zlib has been stable for years and seems unlikely to change. A port would show that D is capable of efficiently compiling it (unlike, say, the Java zlib wrapper which relies on a DLL written in C). I did a port of regexp rather than a wrapper for just that reason. A port will also expose any weaknesses in D that I need to fix. -Walter "Sean L.

How You think, should it ported "directly" (structured programming) or converted to OO concepts.

I'll let whoever wants to do it make that decision!
