If you think about PKLITE or somethink else, that compresses executable files to
small (still) executables, I think I can:

PKLITE (for example) compresses the .EXE file as any normal compression does, but
inserting a little de-compressing program at the beginnit of the file, so that,
if the program is executed, the de-compression prg. will decompress the code-data
and THEN execute the normal program.
