It is a shareware program from France, used to compress EXE files so that they take up less disk space. It often achieves approximately 50% savings, and still allows you to run the program. It decompresses the file directly into memory at an astounding speed. If you have a 286 or better, you probably wouldn't even notice the loss of time. The really neat part, though, is that it includes a self-check into every file compressed with the utility, so that if the file has been changed it will notify you. This would detect the presence of a virus in the software. The program is easy to use, and can also compress COM programs if they are converted to EXE's. I would be willing to file transfer it to anyone who wants it directly from my PC. I've been using it for about 6 months now without problem, and it passes the latest SCAN I have, so I think it's safe to assume it's clean. Anyway, if you want to file transfer it from me, send me E-mail at my above listed address and we can make arrangements. I support most standard transfer protocols.
