Re: Windows CE BinaryCompression

Please don't post our copyrighted source code in public. Technically that
is a violation of the license you agreed to when you got the source code.
Nobody is going to sue you or arrest you over it, but whenever I see someone
do that I'm supposed to remind them of our license agreement.

These APIs are unfortunately undocumented and unsupported for you to use.
While they'll probably compress and decompress okay for you, we don't
guarantee they'll work the same from one OS version to the next. The data
may not be portable between devices either. And like Chris says, files
compressed using these APIs are not portable to other OS's.
