That's strange. Cisco documentation explains how to compress IOS:

You can copy normal or compressed images to Flash memory. You can produce a
compressed system image on any UNIX platform using the compress command.
Refer to your UNIX platform's documentation for the exact usage of the
compress command.

The above quote comes from: (watch the wrap)
http://127.0.0.1:8080/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/12cgcr/fun_c/fcprt2/
fcimages.htm#xtocid200717

MZMAKER is nothing more than a DOS port of the Unix compress command...
