I'm the author of that software, and only now I realize that these routines
(from my private LNK$LIBRARY) are indeed missing from the distribution.

As it may not be of general interest, I'll not post the routines but
recommend the workarounds below. If you think you need them, feel free
to ask me and I'll send them to you.

Workaround:
(a) delete the line referencing REDIRECT in ZT*.C (or substitute your own
        routine to redirect standard output here). In fact, the invocation
        of REDIRECT is not required at all.
(b) in ZT*.C, replace the line which starts
        #define FEHLER ...
    by
        #define FEHLER(t) do{fprintf(stderr,"%s\n",t); exit(4);}while(0)

Sorry for the inconvenience.
