Here lately I've noticed that compress seems to "choke" on certain
news files. (we're running Bnews PL17 on a 286 XENIX).  I've checked
compress and recompiled it several times with various options always
with the same results.  It hits a point in the file and just stops.
I suspect that some of the recent uuencoded files that have been
passing thought the net might have something to do with this.  But
don't really have a way to check it.

Outta courisity, could some one e-mail me a working make for SCO XENIX
286 for compress - maybe there is something I've missed and am not
aware of it.  Thanks in advance...
