DOS/32 Advanced DOS Extender - D32A C/C++ Run-Time Library Reference 5.0 - DOS/32 Advanced D32A Library - Compression functions DOS/32 Advanced DOS Extender supports protected mode executable compression and features a built-in decoder to decompress encoded executables. This built-in decoder is used by one of the below described functions, namely d32a_decode_data. As the decoder resides inside the body of the DOS Extender, the actual code of the library function d32a_decode_data is very small. This allows you to create very small executables which only require decompressing of data, previously compressed with D32A library function d32a_encode_data, which is also described in the following section of this manual.
