+
+Compatibility notes
+===================
+
+- Although the name "zlib" would have been more normal for the
+  zlibpas unit, this name is already taken by Borland's ZLib unit.
+  This is somehow unfortunate, because that unit is not a genuine
+  interface to the full-fledged zlib functionality, but a suite of
+  class wrappers around zlib streams.  Other essential features,
+  such as checksums, are missing.
+  It would have been more appropriate for that unit to have a name
+  like "ZStreams", or something similar.
+
+- The C and zlib-supplied types int, uInt, long, uLong, etc. are
+  translated directly into Pascal types of similar sizes (Integer,
+  LongInt, etc.), to avoid namespace pollution.  In particular,
+  there is no conversion of unsigned int into a Pascal unsigned
+  integer.  The Word type is non-portable and has the same size
+  (16 bits) both in a 16-bit and in a 32-bit environment, unlike
+  Integer.  Even if there is a 32-bit Cardinal type, there is no
+  real need for unsigned int in zlib under a 32-bit environment.
+
+- Except for the callbacks, the zlib function interfaces are
+  assuming the calling convention normally used in Pascal
+  (__pascal for DOS and Windows16, __fastcall for Windows32).
+  Since the cdecl keyword is used, the old Turbo Pascal does
+  not work with this interface.
+
+- The gz* function interfaces are not translated, to avoid
+  interfacing problems with the C runtime library.  Besides,
+    gzprintf(gzFile file, const char *format, ...)
+  cannot be translated into Pascal.
