      3 Introduction
      4 ---------------------
      5 MiniZip 1.1 is built from MiniZip 1.0 by Gilles Vollant ( http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/minizip.html )
      6 
      7 When adding ZIP64 support into minizip it would result into risk of breaking compatibility with minizip 1.0.
      8 All possible work was done for compatibility.

     12 ---------------------
     13 When adding ZIP64 support Mathias Svensson found that Even Rouault have added ZIP64 
     14 support for unzip.c into minizip for a open source project called gdal ( http://www.gdal.org/ )
     15 
     16 That was used as a starting point. And after that ZIP64 support was added to zip.c
     17 some refactoring and code cleanup was also done.
