Frequently Asked Question:
Q: Each time I use the compress function I get the -5 error (not enough
room in the output buffer).
A: Make sure that the length of the compressed buffer is passed by
reference ("as any"), not by value ("as long"). Also check that
before the call of compress this length is equal to the total size of
the compressed buffer and not zero.

Got the answer! (I haven't had time to check this but it's what I got, and
looks correct):
He has the following routines working:
compress
uncompress
gzopen
gzwrite
gzread
gzclose
Declares follow: (Quoted from Carlos Rios <c_rios@sonda.cl>, in Vb4 form)
#If Win16 Then 'Use Win16 calls.
Declare Function compress Lib "ZLIB.DLL" (ByVal compr As
String, comprLen As Any, ByVal buf As String, ByVal buflen

As String, uncomprLen As Any, ByVal compr As String, ByVal

Declare Function gzread Lib "ZLIB.DLL" (ByVal file As

Here is another example from Michael <michael_borgsys@hotmail.com> that he
says conforms to the VB guidelines, and that solves the problem of not
knowing the uncompressed size by storing it at the end of the file:
'Calling the functions:
'bracket meaning: <parameter> [optional] {Range of possible values}
'Call subCompressFile(<path with filename to compress> [, <path with
filename to write to>, [level of compression {1..9}]])
'Call subUncompressFile(<path with filename to compress>)
