JetRoff is one of those postings where some stuff (specifically the fonts and bitmaps) needed to be compressed and uuencoded for transmission. It seems that many 286 people have trouble building compress, so I made 286 (AT&T C SGS) and 386 compress binaries available. You can get the full list of goodies as indicated by my signature. Here is the relevant portion to answer your question. Source for compress is widely available, should you fear that there may be a virus or 'horse in the binaries.
