need to raise ulimit

[wtr at moss.ATT.COM]

Unix:	Microport V/AT 2.3 (runtime+programming+text)
System: Sperry IT (AT clone) 8 Mhz w/ 80287
	2 Mb memory
	Seagate 4053 / WD controller
	Sperry's High Res Display (not for long)
	Sperry bios ver. 1.52 (note: not 1.57)

I have the two following problems, and am looking for some  advice:

1)	I have recently downloaded some LARGE (~3.5Mb )
	compressed sources ( Gnuemacs, for one ) and need
	to be able to raise my ulimit to uncompress and cpio
	these sources out.  Am I ignoring some simple procedure?
	Is there an easy way to do this? Do I need a ulimit++
	source of some sort?

2)	I was compiling the source to the Korn Shell the
	other night ( large model, no optimizing :-(
	I finally got all the modules compiled and linked,
	but when I type 'ksh' the system procedes to dump
	core big time, and the shell never executes.
	The executable is about 120 kb after linking,
	with no stripping.  Anyone had similar experiences?
	Is it the kernal? compiler? linker? Am steeling myself
	for sbd-ing soon (AACCKKTH!)

Finally, thanx to all for the help with compress.  I have received
the sources for the 16-bit version.  It does a much better job than
12-bits :-)
