    Real Nice EXE packer......•.•

    http://wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at/mfx/upx.html

    UPX = Ultimate Packer for eXecutables.

    free: UPX is distibuted with full source code under the GNU General Public License, and may be used freely even with commercial programs.

    Maybe you have an EXE that's kinda big. Try this program (UPX) on it to make the EXE smaller. Example's from the webpage:

    Application Executable Original Compressed Ratio
    Netscape 4.06 netscape.exe 2,934,336 1,124,352 0.383
    Descent 2 descent2.exe 1,448,873 652,832 0.451
    MAME 0.36 mame.exe 8,214,016 1,810,056 0.220

    I just used it on a EXE that I compiled in VB. The EXE started out at 128KB's. I used UPX on it, and now my EXE is 39KB's. The packed EXE works with no problems, and I notice no difference in load times at all...........

    I already use it, and have done for a while Not worked out how to use the separate library for stream compression yet, but I'll get there
