+`mkwinpeimg' is shell script that makes it easy to create a customized bootable
+image of Windows PE that can be put on a CD or USB drive, or published on a
+server for PXE booting. See the main page `doc/mkwinpeimg.1' for more details.
+
+There is an additional program, `wimapply', that is not installed by default.
+It can be used to build a small executable with the ability to apply a WIM image
+from a standalone WIM, without having to build the whole shared library. This
+could be useful on Linux boot clients that only need to be able to apply a WIM,
+not capture/split/join/append/export/mount a WIM. See `programs/wimapply.c'.
+
+ COMPRESSION RATIO
+
+wimlib can create XPRESS or LZX compressed WIM archives. Currently, the XPRESS
+compression ratio is slightly better than that provided by Microsoft's software,
+while the LZX compression ratio is approaching that of Microsoft's software but
+is not quite there yet. Running time is as good as or better than Microsoft's
+software, especially with multithreaded compression, available in wimlib v1.1.0
+and later.
+
+The following tables compare the compression ratio and performance for creating
+a compressed Windows PE image (disk usage of about 524 MB, uncompressed WIM size
+361 MB):
+
+ Table 1. WIM size
