Hi Ken,

here is the link to MZMAKER:

http://www.mcseco-op.com/mzmaker.htm

mzmaker seems not to be long-filename aware. So rename your image that
you want to compress to something that fits into the old DOS 8.3 naming
scheme. You can rename it back after mzmaker did its job.
I have used mzmaker in the past to run 12.0 Enterprise IOS on
my 2500 series routers with 8m flash / 16m dram. For IOS12.1 i had
upgraded my routers to 16m flash.
