FYI ...

I tried packer on a couple of executables first, just to test its operation, it
seemed to work fine, so I ran it on my gcc executables disk. Wow, *serious*
compression -- it compressed the whole disk into a 0-byte space --- including
the FAT. I guess it doesn't like the 82-track, 10 SPT format created by DC
format. After that I left it well alone.
