Anyone had success with the 286 architecture and compiling the *compress.c* program from the archives? Here's the scenario: 1) decompressed compress.c.Z on host system (3B2, not 286 or uport) 2) downloaded compress.c from host system. 3) compiled compress.c from Makefile 4) added -DM_XENIX to Makefile to alleviate "too large array" errors 5) got link time errors indicating compile should be done with large model 6) added -Ml to Makefile to recompile with large model 7) compiles completed without errors 8) executed compress to decompress another program.c.Z, and much garbage was generated in output. I find it hard to believe that *compress*, even with its many options, has never been compiled in the Microport System V/AT environment. I would rather believe that I haven't found the right flags to define at compile time. Any suggestions from anyone who has made it work? Please email any ideas to johnk@grebyn.com Thanks, John
