Abstract: A function $f:XoY$ between topological spaces is called {em compact-preserving} if the image $f(K)$ of each compact subset $KsubsetX$ is compact. We prove that a function $f:XoY$ defined on a strong Frechet space $X$ is compact-preserving if and only if for each point $xinX$ there is a compact subset $K_{x}subsetY$ such that for each neighborhood $O_{f(x)}subsetY$ of $f(x)$ there is a neighborhood $O_{x}subsetX$ of $x$ such that $f(O_x)subset{O}_{f(x)}cup{K}_x$ and the set $K_{x}setminus{O}_{f(x)}$ is finite. This characterization is applied to give an alternative proof of a classical characterization of continuous functions on locally connected metrizable spaces as functions that preserve compact and connected sets. Also we show that for each compact-preserving function $f:XoY$ defined on a (strong) Fr'echet space $X$, the restriction $f|LI{\text{'}}_f$ (resp. $f|L{I}_f)$ is continuous. Here $L{I}_f$ is the set of points $xinX$ of local infinity of $f$ and $LI{\text{'}}_f$ is the set of non-isolated points of the set $L{I}_f$. Suitable examples show that the obtained results cannot be improved.
