I recently pulled down LZEXE91.(ARC? ZIP? - can't remember) from Simtel20.
This package compresses .EXE files on disk, then automatically decompresses
them when they are loaded into memory.  Having tried it on a couple of
.EXE files, I am *very* impressed, and intend to start using it for all
of my .EXEs.  

However, I am still wary - you don't get something like this for nothing!
Are there any 'gotchas' I should beware of?  Does anyone have any bad
experiences of using the system?

Thanks,
Alan
