I fought with this recently and found that I needed to rebuild the zlib.dll file. I used the instuctions in the README file of the zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz file reading the instructions starting with "To build a Windows DLL version, include..." I copied the Makefile.w32 into the base directory, changed the makefile to support multi-threaded DLLs and then added the target for zlib.dll. Unfortunately I don't have the changes on this machine, but I will see if I can post them within a couple of days. After rebuilding the DLL and copying it to the appropriate spot, it would read/write gzip capture files.

I have made clean, run cleanbld.bat and remade everything.

Still ethereal won't open a .gz file.

The About box says it was built with zlib 1.1.4.

VS.NET C++
Windows 2000

Thanks.
