Hi yand,
example3 doesn't compress to .zip files, it outputs raw zlib-style streams 
which can't be opened by WinZip/WinRAR/7zip (as far as I know) because zlib 
streams aren't archives. example2 outputs a test .zip file with a bunch of text 
files that can be opened by KDE Dolphin, WinZip, 7zip, etc.

hi,richge
thanks for your reply. another question,i want to know how to modify source 
miniz.c to make it support compress the folder.
BTW,can you give some information about the compress alogorithm?(such as 
function tdefl_compress_normal),it is diffcult to understand your alogrithm by 
miniz.c

Hi yand789, 
The algorithm is described here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEFLATE
Also Google for "RFC 1950".
To compress a folder, you would need to find the files somehow (using 
FindFiles() under Win32, etc.) and compress each file individually using miniz. 
miniz.c itself only handles the low-level stuff.
