NeoLite (shareware) by NeoWorx
Inc. 04.IV.1999.
NeoLite
2.0. EVC
Nag remover (4K).
NeoLite compresses Windows 32-bit .EXE files and DLLs. It compresses
them in such a manner that they are still executed normally. No
additional software is required to run the compressed software, it is
completely transparent. There is no speed penalty incurred. |
Shrinker (demo) by Blinkinc.
03.II.1999.
Shrinker
3.4. UCF's
Nag remover (144K).
Shrinker will take almost ANY 16 or 32 bit Windows .EXE, .DLL, .DPL,
.DRV or .OCX file or ANY real mode DOS .EXE file and transparently
compress it. Compression ratios will vary from file to file, but many
files will compress by 70% or more. |
PKLite32 (shareware) by PKWare.
9.VI.1999.
PKLite32 1.1.
PKLITE32 may be used to reduce the size of any Windows 32 bit
Portable Executable (i.e. PE) "Image" file. The PE file
format is based on the Common Object File Format (i.e. COFF) and is
the primary Windows 32-bit executable file format. In addition to
executable files, PKLITE32 will compress Dynamic Link Library (i.e.
.DLL) files, OLE Custom Control (i.e. .OCX) files, or any PE based
file type. |
AS-Pack (shareware) by Solodovnikov

AS-Pack
2.1. ASPatch
1.21 (23K) - patcher for ASPacked files by Chafe.
News:
- Compression ratio of max. compression mode improved
- Japanese language is now supported
- Minor bugs fixed
ASPack is an advanced Win32 executable file compressor, capable of
reducing the file size of 32-bit Windows programs by as much as 70%.
(ASPack's compression ratio improves upon the industry-standrad zip
file format by as much as 10-20%.) ASPack makes Windows 95/98/NT
programs and libraries smaller, and decrease load times across
networks, and download times from the internet; it also protects
programs against reverse engineering by non-professional hackers.
Programs compressed with ASPack are self-contained and run exactly as
before, with no runtime performance penalties. |
Petite (shareware) by Ian
Luck. 17.XII.1999.
Petite
2.2 (108K).
News:
- GUI version
- "-r**" compress all but 1st icon option
- "-s" strip relocations option
- "-m" mangle imports option
- A few more improvements/fixes
Petite is a Windows 9x/NT executable (EXE/DLL/etc...) compressor. It
allows compression of the whole executable - code, data and
resources. Petite automatically decides which parts of the executable
can be compressed and which parts need to be left as they are. The
compressed output executable can be run as if it was the original
uncompressed file. |
WWPack 32 by Piotr
Warezak. 07.VII.2000.
WWPack32
1.20.
News:
- relocation table stripper
- resources compressor
- command line parameters
- new SETUP window design
WWPack32 will save you disk space and it will also protect your
programs from cracking. WWPack32 will reduce traffic over local
computer networks (compressed files run faster on the net)! |
PECompact by Jeremy
Collake. 17.IX.2000.
PE
Compact 1.40 final (355K).
News:
- Optimized import table.
- Optimized symbiotic code.
- Fixed multiple-instance crash.
- Fixed shared section bug.
- Misc. bug fixes.
PECompact is a utility that compresses Windows 9x/NT4/w2k
executables, while leaving them 100% functional. PECompact compresses
the code, data, selected resources, import/export table of a win32
executable and optimizes its structure. It then installs a symbiont
which decompresses the executable at run-time without any noticeable
speed difference. Load time can actually be improved in some cases
because less data has to be retrieved from the disk. |
PEBundle by Jeremy
Collake. 11.VIII.2000.
PEBundle
1.00.3.
PEBundle physically attaches DLL(s) to an executable, resolving
dependencies in memory and therefore removing the requirement of the
DLL image(s) to be distributed with the executable, or exist as a
separate physical image. PEBundle does NOT write attached DLLs to
disk, but handles API dependencies transparently in memory with
virtually no extra memory usage over the normal requirement for the
EXE+DLL, except in the special case of, what would have been, a
shared DLL module. |
Crunch by BitArts.
01.II.2000.
Crunch
1.0.
Crunch allows you to reduce your EXE's, DLL's, OCX's and screensavers
by up to 70% and still run as normal. Crunch introduces powerful
compression and encryption that hides your real program code from hex
editors etc. Crunch'ed files can be distributed without need for
additional files or dependencies. |
Fusion by BitArts.
01.II.2000.
Fusion
1.0.
Ever imagined a VB program requiring no VB runtimes ? Fusion links in
all runtime dependencies and even OCX's to create a single standalone
executable. Compression reduces the overall application footprint and
encryption of your program code adds further security. Works with all
Windows 32-bit exe/dll/ocx and screen savers. |
UPX by Laszlo
& Markus. 14.IX.2000.
1.02
Win32. 1.02
Dos. 1.02
Linux.
News:
- watcom/le: fixed a problem with the Causeway extender
- win32/pe: don't automatically strip relocs if they
seem needed
- support multiple backup generations when using `-k'
- updated the console screen driver
UPX is a versatile executable packer with the following features:
- excellent compression ratio: compresses better than zip/gzip, use
UPX to decrease the size of your distribution!
- very fast decompression: about 10 MB/sec on a P133
- no memory overhead for your compressed executables
- safe: you can list, test and unpack your executables. Also, a
checksum of both the compressed and uncompressed file is maintained internally.
- universal: UPX can pack a number of executable formats: dos/exe,
dos/sys, dos/com, djgpp2/coff, watcom/le (supporting DOS4G, PMODE/W,
DOS32a and CauseWay), win32/pe, rtm32/pe, tmt/adam.
- portable: UPX is written in portable endian-neutral C++ (the
official version is compiled with djgpp, but we are indeed partly
developing it under Linux)
- extensible: because of the class layout it's very easy to add new
executable types or new compression algorithms
- free: the final version will be distributed with full source code

PE-PaCK by ANAKiN.

PE-PaCK
v1.0 (15K).
I have compared PEPACK to all the other PE packers I know off:
PETITE, PECRYPT, WWPACK32, SHRINKER, STNPEE... And I can proudly say,
that PEPACK beats up all of them. |
PE Diminisher by tERAPHY. 11.IX.1999.
PE
Diminisher v0.1 (11K).
PE Diminisher is a simple PE packer. Just run it, open the file you
want to pack, and select Encrypt File! This software was written in
learning purpose only. So, don't tell me it sucks, cause I already
know ;) Anyway, the GUI is pretty nice :) |
