+The DEFLATE algorithm which powers gzip is also used by various other compressed
+file formats, such as zip, png and vgm. As such this implementation is also used
+by [VGMPlay](http://www.grauw.nl/projects/vgmplay/), which triggered its
+development, and [PNGView](http://www.grauw.nl/projects/pngview/).
+
+Additionally Louthrax has used this code to implement
+[SofaUnZip](https://www.louthrax.net/mgr/sofaunzip.html), and Prodatron used it
+to implement unzip in [SymbOS](http://www.symbos.de/).
