??? I'm sure I've run EXE files larger than my physical ram... try zip2exe-ing
a large zip file :) zip2exe works by appending a .zip archive to the end of an
exe stub that know how to decode a zip appended to it.

from this i conclude that there's something in the header that says how much
to load into ram.
