+TCX is a system designed for the transparent decompression, execution
+and recompression of executables under Unix. It allows configuration
+options such as the type of compression system used (compress(1),
+gzip(1), your own local system etc), timeouts between recompressions,
+and emergency directories in case a decompression fails from shortage
+of disk space. The system is designed with a reasonable amount of
+robustness in mind, such as in the event of system crashes, or races
+on trying to uncompress, compress or execute something.
