[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. when i compress file large than 1 gb
2. when i tick Make ExE box.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
= FreeArc 0.67 alpha

Whenever i compress any file, and then tries to extract it, it gives error : 
test.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

I am making compressed files using below settings.

extension.
===========================

1. the best compression settings is the Ultra, of course
2. this problem can't be solved without modufying Windows codeю but you can 
create non-sfx myarchive.arc and then copy freearc.sfx into myarchive.exe. 
running myarchive.exe will extract data from myarchive.arc 
3. the maximum exe size supported by windows depends on the memory map, so it 
will be different depending on software resident in memory

1. Ok i agreed sir. , but could you please show a image what item's are need 
set ??
Or just i have to choose "Ultra (require 2 gb RAM for decompression): -mx 
-ld1600m" from drop box ??

2. of i compress file normally like test.arc, without ticking make exe option, 
and then  copy freearc.sfx to where ??...to test.arc ??...as you said copy into 
test.exe,..but where is exe ?..if i created arc. 
Please sir guide like you are guiding a child :)
I am not intelligent as you :p

3. I got this point :)

1. yes
2. copy freearc.sfx to test.exe and place it to the same directory as test.arc. 
once you run test.exe, it will extract test.arc
