I started to write one in 2003, but the task is big, and interpreting
the Zlib compression/decompression standard (actually an RFC) is not easy.
It looks like 2007 was the last year I did anything on it, and I don't
even have a working deflator (decompression code).
Zlib_Ada came along, and that seemed good enough. Any new implementation
in Ada is going to need a lot of testing before it gets as reliable as
Zlib itself.
If anyone's interested in working on it, I could start a Sourceforge
project and make the code available, or others could join the project
and work on it.
