It supposedly takes empty space out of EXE and COM files. It also states that execution speeds can nearly double at times. Has anyone used this? Does it really work? Has it meesed up any of your files? Are there any FTP sites that I can obtain this from? Thanks for any help. Sigh. In principle, it's a combination of an archive program and a built-in uncompressor that uncompresses and runs the program. It can't make your programs execute faster, it can only make them load faster (BTW, it does, unless the program is in ramdisk or disk cache). -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Russ.Nelson@$315.268.6667 In Communism's central planning, citizens are told "you will make widgets".
