Awhile ago, I posted an complete message asking about a packing program for
Macintosh, no one responded.  (Packing is to compress an executable file into
about 50% of it's original size, but remain executable;  This is similar to
StuffIT and Arc, but the final product from packing is executable)

IBM has it.  Amiga has it.  Atari has it;  why even Commodore 64 has these sort
of program.  The advantage is obvious:  It saves alot of disk spaces on your
harddrive.  I'm suprised that Macs doesn't even have this kind of programs.

"No one from Mac worlds ever thought of it?", I ask.

Peace.
