 Compressing Windows programs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 At link time a small decompression stub is added as the first segment of the
 .EXE or .DLL file. Each segment of the file is then compressed separately to
 allow it to be loaded and discarded on demand at run time.

 By default, most Windows programs are created with all code segments set to
 PRELOAD in the module definition file. This will cause the maximum delay at
 load time, while all the code segments are loaded and decompressed, before
 the program can actually start running. We suggest that you do not set this
 attribute, unless there is a specific reason for setting all code segments
 to PRELOAD. If the PRELOAD attribute is not set, code segments can be loaded
 on demand, which will significantly reduce the time taken to load large
 compressed programs at start up.

 Note: If for some reason it is necessary to use an external resource
 compiler such as RC.EXE on an .EXE file compressed by Blinker, ensure that
 the resource compiler -k (keep segment ordering) option is used, otherwise
 the application will refuse to load.
