At the web site below, thet also offer binaries for download. They are
big binaries. The static one is about 6 Mbytes and the dynamic one is
about 4 Mbtyes. Your binary at 3 Mbtyes is still quite big. i do not
know whether they will run in a 4 RAM machine.

zgv works for me but sometimes I cannot use links after that. I need to
