zlib is missing!

[hak777]

I have a nx70v and when I try to run the continental airline schedule app, I get a message that "Zlib is missing." Continental says it is an operating system problem. Any advice would be appreciated.

ZLib is a file that many programs that require it will have it as part of the install. But you can also download it from here: http://palmzlib.sourceforge.net/

Zlib isn't a standard component of the Palm OS. It is used to compress and uncompress files like .zip files. Most apps that require it include it in the distribution package. You may have just not installed it when you installed the continental airline schedule app. The file is standard across apps that use it, like mathlib. I believe it's called syszlib.prc in the distribution package. These "lib" files are like .dll files in windows. If it didn't come with your app, you should be able to use the syszlib.prc from the distribution package for lightnzip. Better yet, you might try the syszlibARM.prc from that package, since it is optimized for OS5. Hope this helps.

Edit: OOPS Cbulock beat me and with a better source for the file. :o

Here is another source.

Actually the Lightnzip version of zlib might be better than the link I gave. I'm not sure if the one on sourceforge has an ARMlet based version. Either will work, the ARMlet one will just be much quicker on OS5.
