+## Program Resolution
+
+### macOS & Linux
+On macOS & Linux, programs are resolved the way you expect:
+
+- `a` resolves against the system `PATH`
+- `./a` resolves against `:dir` if specified, otherwise the current working directory
+- `/some/absolute/a` resolves absolutely
+
+In all cases, the working directory for `a` is `:dir`, if specified, otherwise your current working directory.
+
+### Windows
+
+Windows executable files have extensions, which, if not specified, are resolved in order: `.com`,`.exe`,`.bat`,`.cmd`.
+Programs are resolved in directories using the same rules as macOS, Linux, and Windows PowerShell.
+
+> **Windows .ps1 TIP**: Babashka process will never resolve to, and cannot launch, `.ps1` scripts directly.
+To launch a `.ps1` script, you must do so through PowerShell.
+Example:
+> ```Clojure
+> (p/shell "powershell.exe -File .\\a.ps1")
+> ```
+
+> **Windows TIP**: If you prefer a more CMD Shell-like experience where programs are resolved first in the current working directory, then on the `PATH`, and are OK with the security implications of doing so, you can override the default `:program-resolver` with your own.

+# Babashka Process Test Resources
+
+For test coverage, we need executables that emit their path and their current working directory.
+For example, on Windows:
+```
+> .\print-dirs.bat
+exepath: Z:\babashka\process\test-resources\print-dirs.bat
+workdir: Z:\babashka\process\test-resources
+> cd ..
+>test-resources\print-dirs
+exepath: Z:\babashka\process\test-resources\print-dirs.exe
+workdir: Z:\babashka\process
+```
+
+This is straightforward for Linux/macOS `.sh`, Windows `.cmd` and Windows `.bat` variants, but for the Windows `.exe` variant, we need to create a binary.
+
+## Generating a Windows .exe
+
+It doesn't matter how `print-dirs.exe` is created; it won't need to be recreated often (we commit it to source control).
+
+Since it generates relatively small binaries very quickly for any architecture, we've built a `print-dirs.exe` using Go.
+Source is in [print-dirs.go](print-dirs.go)
+
+### Minimal Build
+Presuming you have [Go](https://go.dev/) installed, from this dir:
+
+```shell
+GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o print-dirs.exe print-dirs.go
+```
+
+For me, this generated a 1.9mb `print-dirs.exe`.
+
+### Build a Smaller Exe
+Since this `.exe` is checked into version control, I opted to create a smaller binary by adding the following `-ldflags` to strip debug info:
+
+```shell
+GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -ldflags "-s -w" -o print-dirs.exe print-dirs.go
+```
+
+For me, the generated `print-dirs.exe` is now 1.3mb.
+To further shrink down the binary, you can use [UPX](https://upx.github.io/) (which is also cross-platform):
+
+```
+upx --ultra-brute print-dirs.exe
+```
+
+And now `print-dirs.exe` is 457kb.
+
+### Building With Docker
+If you don't want to install Go and UPX on your dev box but have docker installed, you can build from a docker image like so:
+
+``` shell
+docker run --rm \
+  -v "$PWD":/src \
+  -w /src \
+  devopsworks/golang-upx:latest \
+  bash -c 'GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 \
+    go build -ldflags "-s -w" -o print-dirs.exe print-dirs.go &&
+    upx --ultra-brute print-dirs.exe'
+```
+
+This is ultimately the command I ran to create our Windows .exe.
+
+## What about Windows .com?
+
+These days, `.com` executables are rare.
+
+I could not find an easy way to create one.
+Our tests use `print-dirs.exe` copied to `print-dirs.com` to support `.com` test cases.
