Problems with compiles on Sys V/AT; compress.c; large model

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 at grebyn.com
Thanks,
John
