     32 Provides classes for reading and writing the standard ZIP and GZIP
     33 file formats.  Also includes classes for compressing and decompressing
     34 data using the DEFLATE compression algorithm, which is used by the
     35 ZIP and GZIP file formats. Additionally, there are utility classes
     36 for computing the CRC-32 and Adler-32 checksums of arbitrary
     37 input streams.
