If I'm not mistaken, I used to use std.zlib with DMD1, and it was compatible
with gzip.
Now that Andrei's awesome book is available on RoughCuts, I finally figured I
would take the plunge and switch up to DMD2.
I tried writing a file with std.zlib.compress, and gzip could not uncompress it
(both level=6 and level=9).
I tried gzip'ing a file, and std.zlib.uncompress could not uncompress it (see
attached D file).
Note that writing with std.zlib then later reading with std.zlib works just
fine... but am I dreaming that I used to also be able to use 'gzip' on the
resulting files?
Thanks!
