exe file icon disappeared

[1027663760]

I used the res file to import the icon. When I use vc6 link.exe, everything is normal, but after compiling with Crinkler, the exe icon disappears, and other rc resources cannot be read.

This will probably be closed as won't-fix.
Resources require several additional structures to be present in uncompressed form in the exe file. The only compression supported by Windows for the program Icon is PNG (Deflate).
These requirements are contrary to Crinkler's priority of maximum utilization of exe space for code and data usable from the running program.

That said, with much work the headers could be modified to support a small icon, it is not impossible.
