Greetings.  I'm trying to get a good copy of compress working on our
6150-125.  I downloaded one from a local bbs here, but it wouldn't compile
without some modifications.  After I modified it (don't remember exactly
what I did) it worked, but it doesn't seem to uncompress stuff I get off the
net (the RT isn't hooked up to the net, I have to transfer files to it via
diskettes).  What will happen is that it will keep uncompressing until it
runs out of space, creating a *huge* file that is unreadable.  Occasionally,
it will produce a semi-readable file, but than tar gets stuck on it after a
few files.  Does anyone have a copy of compress that will compile on the rt
that they can send me, or tell me where I can obtain one?  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
