Greeting *,

I have a problem to uncompress elvis 1.4 download from plains.nodak.edu.
When I uncompressed the file the first time, it responded elvis was 
compressed in 16 bits.  So, I re-compile compress.c using
	cc -3 -DAZTECBITS=16 -o compress compress.c
When I uncompressed it again, it responded "Can't allocate htab" which
was caused by "malloc".

Now, the question is what is the min. memory to run 16-bit compress? Or,
simply I did something wrong.

I am running Bruce's 386 with shoelace.  I have root device assigned to
/dev/hd3 and roughly 1.1MB available memory.  Root device has roughly
330K bytes available.  I have 386AT with 2MB RAM and 15MB HD allocated to
minix.

Any hint is grateful.  You can either post or e-mail to me.
