To correct the error "unable to allocate htab":
	cc -i -o compress compress.c
	chmem =64000 compress

The default make file didn't compile with -i
and would chmem to some size too small for compress

You probably only need to chmem =64000 compress to see positive results.

I have not had compress delete any files.
