I had this idea just yesterday. There is this nice PMODE/W for Watcom, a
DOS4G/W replacement, capable to compress the executables. I thought it
would not take a lot to put some additional code into stub.asm to decompress 
compressed COFFs. Changing stubify.c is even easier. If noone wishes, I 
will try to do that with the simpliest compression algorythm. If
I'm lucky, I will produce a different 'stubify' with compression.
Now do I have authors' permission to mess around with stub.asm and other 
stuff? Thanx?

P.S. 'stub.asm' is so damn scary! I'll beat it. (I hope).
