+If {\it flags} is wxZLIB\_NO\_HEADER, then the data is assumed to be a raw
+deflate stream without either zlib or gzip headers. This is a lower level

+%if WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4
+This version is not by default compatible with the output produced by
+the version of {\it wxZlibOutputStream} in wxWidgets 2.4.x. However,
+there is a compatibility mode, which is switched on by passing
+wxZLIB\_24COMPATIBLE for flags. Note that in when operating in compatibility
+mode error checking is very much reduced.
