-a   Always Compress Files With Internal Overlays

This option is used to tell  PKLITE to  always compress files even though they
use internal overlays. Programs which use overlays loaded from .EXE files, may
not run normally when in compressed form. PKLITE will detect if a program file
contains internal overlays.  It will  prompt you  for confirmation  before  it
compresses any files with overlays if you do not use the -a option.

         C:\> PKLITE  -a  *.EXE

In the example shown above, PKLITE will compress all of the .EXE  files in the
current directory even if  internal overlays  are detected.  You  will  not be
prompted for  confirmation before  any files are  compressed. The  files  will
overwrite the original files since there is no destination directory specified


NOTE:    Overlay data is not compressed by PKLITE, however the load image data
located before the overlay data is compressed.  Some programs require that the
overlay data in the .EXE file be located at a specified point in the .EXE file
These programs will not run correctly  when compressed with  PKLITE.  Programs
that do not run correctly can be returned to their original state  with the -x
option.
