Hello,
  I built this. It went rather well. It did need minor tweaks:
1. Add "-L /posix2/lib -lcExt" to LDFLAGS in build.table so the compiler knows where 
the posix2 library is.
2. Change the newline char (LF) to CR/LF in all the *.good files. All this does is 
change the file size so that cmp does not fail a comparison. sed outputs CR/LF for a 
newline.

  It passed 46 of 48 tests in ./testsuite. The failures:

1. eval: is due to command interpretation failure rather than an actual sed failure. I 
haven't taken the time to determine the problem.
    LC_ALL=C ../sed/sed -f ./eval.sed < ./eval.inp > eval.out 
    SYS1041: The name .. is not recognized as an
      internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

2. 8bit:
    cmp ./8bit.good 8bit.out 
    ./8bit.good 8bit.out differ: char 16, line 1
This is also due to the LF - CR/LF problem. I used zip/unzip -a to convert the file 
newlines and unzip treated 8bit.good as a binary file.

Do us a favour and don't add yet another (incompatible) compression
format to the set of already existing ones- espsecially if it has no
advantage about the supported ones and is only of historical interest.

If you insist on a "compress.exe",why not simply go via
"copy gzip.exe compress.exe"

               Regards,
                         Stefan
