LzExe-WC v2.1F by John H. Gohde Registration $ 0.00
UTIL OCT91 GOHDE UTILITY PACKER LZE HARD DISK
FILES: lze-wc21.sdn
New Release
LZEXE is a file packing utility that compresses COM and EXE
program files. By packing programs you can realize a
substantial space savings of somewhere between 30 and 60
percent of the original program size.
LZEXE-WC is a FREEWARE program which functions as a frontend
for LZEXE. It forces LZEXE into being user friendly. LZEXE-WC
does what you would have expected LZEXE to have done in the
first place. It makes the Bellard programs function as one
unit. This product comes complete with a courtesy copy of all
the necessary Bellard FreeWare programs.
The approach advocated by LZEXE-WC is to pack all the
existing programs in your current directory by computer
control while skipping over known problem programs and other
small programs. Then as problems are discovered (ie, the
discovery that an executed program does not work properly),
the respective programs are replaced as needed. The author
feels that this concept makes more sense than to convert and
test individually each packed program, especially when you
are talking about several hundred PD programs and over a MEG
of disk space savings!!!.
In my DOS 5 directory alone I achieved a space savings of
approximately 500K !!!
Most PD programs are not complicated enough to cause any
conversion problems. So, if you have directories containing
100's of PD programs, then you will realize a big time
shavings using LZEXE-WC with relatively little risk. Just
imagine how long it would take to convert just 100 utilities;
one at a time!
Hardware Requirements : IBM compatible computer. 256k RAM,
H-Disk CGA, EGA or VGA monitor.
Other Requirements : MS-DOS 2.11 or higher.
