Just chmem =64000 compress.  If there isn't enough room, it will give
compress everything that is left and report how much it gave.  That is normal.

I have not been able to compile ELLE on MINIX.  I use PC-IX still.  In fact,
ELLE compilation is the only reason I am still hanging onto my old XT.  The
ELLE makefile is somewhat complicated, but as far as I can see, deffun.c is
not needed (or even possible).  The file deffun.e is a table that provides
the key-mapping.  It, plus defprf.e are fed into ellec to make defprf.c,
which is compiled into ELLE.
