 BLINKER EXECUTABLE COMPRESS   Specify compression factor for .EXE file
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Purpose  : Specify the compression factor for an .EXE file

 Syntax   : BLINKER EXECUTABLE COMPRESS [<factor>]

 Default  : <factor> is 5 (medium compression).

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

 This command is used to enable compression of the .EXE file being created,
 and optionally set the compression factor, which defaults to 5 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.
