<br>(From: Bill Pringlemeir, bpringlemeir@yahoo.com)<p>I wrote a routine to uncompress an image compressed by deflate. The trick isthat you have to skip the first byte. I think it's a 0x08; it's a tag thatWRS adds to the start of the compressed block. Other than that it was justa matter of using the zlib routines to decompress it.<br>I haven't tried to compress an image with anything other than deflate, butit shouldn't be too hard.<br>I bet if you asked your FAE nicely, he'd get you the source to deflate andinflateLib.<br>(From: pkockritz@mac.com, Pete Kockritz)<p><hr WIDTH="50%"><a NAME="5.13-D"></a><p>Q: How can I autostart a loaded module.<p>A: without changing loader code or implementing an own version of loader:If you set C++ Constructor to automatic in VxWorks (standard), you mightwrap your application by a static 'startup' class.
