This is a list of files that people have tried to compress with LZEXE.
It was compiled from a thread between 7/1/90 and 7/15/90. I don't
guarentee the accuracy of the result; I am only compiling the list. I
you have a question about whether LZEXE can be used, please ask on the
IBMAPP forum.

Doesn't Compress -
---------------
Clean
DESQview - I also failed when using lzexe with DESQview.  It all seemed to
  work fine, but then I could not access CP (Change Program) mode--so I
  just put back the original files.
GWBasic
LIST,
MS EXEHEDR       -- does not work after compression
MS WORD 5.00     -- does not work after compression
PC Paintbrush IV Plus, overlays
PCKWIK - Also, none of PCKWIK's files work when compressed. Actually, that's
  not true.  They work fine--but they just won't load high, so I reinstalled
  the original files.  But, if you are not loading hi, they can be compressed.
QB.EXE (QuickBASIC) doesn't work; in my experience, it only fails when it
  shells out to BC and then tries to restore itself, in what is obviously
  a non-standard move....
QBX from the new Professional Development System does not.
Scan
Stackey, compresses, but then doesn't work correctly
Turbo Lightning
WordPerfect 4.20 -- does not work after compression
XyWrite's EDITOR.EXE, contains overlays, but LZEXE doesn't catch it

Does Compress
-------------
DOS, -- all(even the .com files) with the following exceptions:
  command.com,xcopy.exe, discopy.exe, mode.com, more.com, share.com
  That's DOS 4.01 (with most recent, 3/90, patch applied).  Many of the .com
  files give "warnings" from lzexe, but they function perfectly well.

  Norton Editor may have a problem, because it writes configuration changes
