Why don't you post some examples of the IBM/ATARI world pack program
that compresses files %50 smaller yet still allow them to be run as executable
I have an IBM clone and I still have no idea of what you're talking about.
If you're talking about ZIP->EXE kind of files that auto-unpak themselves
then the Macintosh does have it in the form of Compactor and Auto-Unstuffit.
If you are talking about something that will actually squish an Executable
to %50 of it's size while still remaining functional w/o any TSR's or
anything else, I have never heard or seen it.
