\section{\class{wxZlibInputStream}}\label{wxzlibinputstream}
This filter stream decompresses a stream that is in zlib or gzip format.
-Note that reading the gzip format requires zlib version 1.2.0 greater.
+Note that reading the gzip format requires zlib version 1.2.1 or greater,
+(the builtin version does support gzips).
The stream is not seekable, \helpref{SeekI()}{wxinputstreamseeki} returns
{\it wxInvalidOffset}. Also \helpref{GetSize()}{wxstreambasegetsize} is

The {\it flags} wxZLIB\_ZLIB and wxZLIB\_GZIP specify whether the input data
