I have seen Ilia M.'s Gzip 1.2.4 hack before (news://comp.compression), it's nice, but it never compiled for me. Now I notice that it's missing a prototype for deflate_max(). And yet still some compilers don't seem to like it (DJGPP, at least the output doesn't match, it's worse!). Nevertheless, I somehow stumbled upon how to build it with OpenWatcom 1.8, and that works fine, so now I have both Win32 (smaller!) and DOS builds.

P.S. I tried searching for a pre-existing topic about this, but apparently I'm a robot spammer because all my (10+) attempts to read the captcha failed !!!![]()
