<abstract>
<t>This specification defines a lossless compressed data format that is compatible with the widely used GZIP utility.  The format includes a cyclic redundancy check value for detecting data corruption.  The format presently uses the DEFLATE method of compression but can be easily extended to use other compression methods.  The format can be implemented readily in a manner not covered by patents.</t></abstract></front>
