Have encountered a problem with the Windows counterpart to Phil Katz's
PKLITE, WINLITE v1.0 (pub/msdos/windows3/winlite1.zip).  It does a pretty
fair job of compacting the huge (3151K) Harvard Graphics for Windows v2.0
executable (hgw20.exe) down to about 1900K.  Trouble is, the compacted file
not only doesn't run, it causes a major fault in Norton Desktop for Windows
v2.2 that forces me to exit Windows for Workgroups the hard way -- with a
double <Ctrl><Alt><Delete>.

Since WINLITE v1.0 doesn't offer a de-compress, this utility could destroy
the Windows executables on a disk as effectively as a virus.  Recommend it be
withdrawn ASAP.
