+### Self-contained Packaging (Compilation)
+
+The Go implementation supports reading an optional ZIP archive appended directly to the end of the `clyx` binary. This allows you to package your Clyx source code into a single executable file.
+
+To package your program:
+1. Create a ZIP archive containing all your `.clx` source files.
+2. Append the ZIP archive to the compiled `clyx` binary:
+   ```sh
+   cat clyx my_app.zip > my_app_executable
+   chmod +x my_app_executable
+   ```
+
+When the packed executable runs:
+- The interpreter automatically detects the appended ZIP archive.
+- It iterates through all `.clx` files in the archive and evaluates (`src`) them.
+- If a `_main` word is defined in the environment, it is executed automatically.
+- If `_main` is not present, the interpreter falls back to running the standard REPL.
