  Description     : zlib, jpeg, png and mpeg support for the Yorick language

 This is a compiled add-on for yorick (an interpreted computer language
 specialized for numerical and scientific problems).  Yorick-z adds
 support for zlib (the data compression system used by gzip), png (a
 lossless image compression format), jpeg (a lossy image compression
 format), and mpeg (mpeg1, a compressed video format).  These are not
 supported in the basic yorick distribution, because each relies on a
 specialized library beyond what is required for basic yorick
 functionality.

 Note: MPEG support won't work out of the box.

I am packaging the new version of Yorick (2.1.02) which includes support
for plug-ins, as well as some of the available plug-ins. yorick-z is one
of them.

Regards, Thibaut.
