  32 Provides classes for reading and writing the standard ZIP and GZIP
  33 file formats.  Also includes classes for compressing and decompressing
  34 data using the DEFLATE compression algorithm, which is used by the
  35 ZIP and GZIP file formats. Additionally, there are utility classes
  36 for computing the CRC-32 and Adler-32 checksums of arbitrary
  37 input streams.
