 BLINKER EXECUTABLE COMPRESS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Purpose:
 Specify the compression factor for an .EXE file

 Syntax:
 BLINKER EXECUTABLE COMPRESS [<nuFactor>]

 Default:
 < nuFactor > is 1 (maximim compression).

 Description:
 This command is used to enable compression of the .EXE file being created,
 and optionally set the compression factor, which defaults to 1 if it is
 not specified.

 The compression factor can be any value between 1 and 9, where 1 gives the
 maximum compression at the expense of the longest link times, up to a factor
 of 9 which gives the fastest link time for a reasonable compression ratio.
 .EXE and .DLL file compression is discussed in detail in the section
 entitled `.EXE and .DLL compression' in Chapter 7 of this manual. Please
 refer to that chapter for more information on the benefits and implications
 of .EXE compression.
 Compression of VB DOS programs using CHAIN is not currently supported
 because the runtime library attempts to read data from CHAINed files.

 Example:
 # Compress to the maximum ready for distribution
 BLINKER EXECUTABLE COMPRESS 1
