I haven't heard of a Mac program to compress executables and then
uncompress them on-the-fly but there is one to uncompress/compress
data files on-the-fly.  It is a CDEV called AutoSqueeze and was
posted to comp.binaries.mac in Feb.  It automatically expands data
files when they are used and compresses them again when you're finished.

This would not be as much use as a PowerPacker type program to me as
I don't have that many data files compared to executables but it
might be of use to you.

There are also, of course, lots of manual compressors like Stuffit etc.

Andrew.
