This command line switch disables compression of data during encryption. It can be used with the commands: ENCRYPT, SFX, ENCRYPTRSA
This key should be used when you would like to encrypt already encrypted files like .zip, .rar, jpg, gif. I.e. file(s) that is/are already compressed. In this case the compression should not be used, because compression of the compressed file will lead to the bigger size of the file.
-COMPRESS
or
-C
a) encrypt mystuff.zip in current folder without compression

2) By default AEP recognizes well known compression formats and disables compression for such file types automatically: ZIP, RAR, PAK, LZW, ARJ, CAB, Z, ARC, JPG, GIF, PNG
