The installed executable thebat.exe was always compressed.
Even after it's installed. Each time you execute it, it's decompressed
automatically and then run. Apparently this has been causing problems
and this is why they've elected to decompress it.
Someone had proposed that the decompression process may be the
reason for hangs occurring on win9x systems when another application
is launched while TB! is starting up.
