Mike, there is one caveat that needs making:  if an executable
modifies itself in the process of registration you may or may not be
able to apply updates to the program - depending on how the author has
written the code.  Peter Nielsen has just recently changed PMVIEW, for
example, to allow updating over the compressed executable.  Simple
workaround is to un-compress before updating, but folks should be aware
of the potential problem.

The best use I've found for LXLITE is the boot disks made by BOOTOS2. 
You can almost get everything on.
