\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

+\func{}{wxZlibInputStream}{\param{wxInputStream\&}{ stream}, \param{int}{ flags = wxZLIB\_AUTO}}
The {\it flags} wxZLIB\_ZLIB and wxZLIB\_GZIP specify whether the input data
-is in zlib or gzip format. If both are used, bitwise ored, then zlib will
+is in zlib or gzip format. If wxZLIB\_AUTO is used, then zlib will
autodetect the stream type, this is the default.
-If {\it flags} is zero, then the data is assumed to be a raw deflate stream
-without either zlib or gzip headers.
+
+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
+mode, which is not usually used directly. It can be used to read a raw
+deflate stream embedded in a higher level protocol.

+%if WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4
+This version is not by default compatible with the output produced by

+there is a compatibilty mode, which is switched on by passing
+wxZLIB\_24COMPATIBLE for flags. Note that in when operating in compatibilty
+mode error checking is very much reduced.

The following symbols can be use for the flags:

This stream compresses all data written to it. The compressed output can be
in zlib or gzip format.
-Note that writing the gzip format requires zlib version 1.2.0 greater.
