Roughly what are the memory requirements of compress? I recently applied
John Rupley's patches for compress 4.0 so that it works with Microport
SystemV/286, and it works fine with files that are no larger than about
250K, but it dumps core when I try to compress larger files. I suspect
that compressing larger files requires more memory than I have (a little
over a meg of available mem at boot time).
