"This is version 4.2 of (N)compress (an improved version of compress 4.1).

Compress is a fast, simple LZW file compressor.  Compress does not have
the highest compression rate, but it is one of the fastest programs to
compress data.  Compress is the defacto standard in the UNIX community
for compressing files."

(Or at least it was, in 1990.)

Ok. I had to place half of the program tables in BSS and other half in the
the heap because ELKS currently allocates 32Kb for dseg and bseg and 32Kb
for heap/stack. I'll remove this hack after we see what's happening in the
kernel.

This port is limited to 12 bit compression, so you must compress with
-b12 to be able to uncompress in ELKS.
