	I'm trying to get some "standard" Unix utilities to work on my
RT (AIX 2.2.1).  I want to build the compress program with the ability
to work with 16 bits.  When I compile with -DBITS=16 I don't get any
errors, but I get "Memory fault - core dumped" when I try to uncompress
something.  Can someone tell me how compress should be built for AIX?

	I also have rzsz.  It builds okay and doesn't get any errors,
but I don't think I'm using it properly.  Can anyone shed some light
on this?

	Finally, I would appreciate it if someone could describe the
differences I need to be aware of when building these and other programs.
Most Makefiles don't include sections for building under AIX.  What's
the closest approximation (BSD, SYSV) ?

	Thanks for any info.
