I have tried the newly posted Pack-Ice, and while it does seem to work 
very well, IT IS VERY SLOW!  We are talking 30 minutes to pack WordPerfect!
Still, it does do an excellent job, and has not balked at packing any program
I give it.  

If anyone else has used this, is it my imagination, or does a pack-iced
program take a tad longer to load and run than the same program packed with
packer?  Is it the unpacking header that takes longer since this program seems
to do a more complete compression of the executable?
