I recently got the source for a *nix compress/uncompress utility, in roundabout fashion from yetti!yugas!avy. While borrowing a friend's GMX Micro20 w/2Mb ram, the utility compiled and executed perfectly, but now that I am using my own system again (Hazelwood UniQuad I (68008)), the utility compiles fine, but when I run it (without -b option) it gives me a 237 error (not enough contiguos memory) Supposedly the -b option allows the program to use less memory, but when I do that, the system goes into some wierd state where it appears to be running but every time I enter ANY command after that, it returns a 103 (address trap) error, forcing me to have to reset the computer. Any ideas? Also, anybody have source for a tar-like utility that would work with *nix tarred files? -Russ Hoffman Carnegie Mellon University rh2y+@andrew.cmu.edu "Ha, bet you thought there'd be a clever quotation here...."

I think you need to declare the number of bit for compression to be lower. I think I use 12 bits when I compiled it. Search the source code, I believe its in ther somewhere. (I did manage to get it to run under the Uniquad 68008) NJC
