Double-click on pft.ttp, and type in: <Original filename>[Space]<New packed
filename>.  You can unpack with LHarc just as if it were a .lzh file.  

Also, if the packed file is larger than the original file, it will not be
written.

This is one of the best packers I've seen.  Much faster than Pack-Ice.
