Description

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 compression ratio improves upon the industry-standard ZIP file format by as much as 10-20%). ASPack makes 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.

ASPack Features

• advanced processing of executable files (EXE, DLL, OCX)
• encoding and compression of program code, data, and resources
• completely transparent, self-contained operation with long filename support
• fast decompression routines deliver better performance than competing products
• integrates directly into Windows as a shell extension for ease of use
• full Windows 95/ NT4.0/ 98/ ME/ 2000/ XP/ 2003/ Vista / 7 compatibility.

ASPack Benefits:

• significant reduction in executable file sizes, averaging from 40-70%
• decrease load times across networks, and download times from the Internet
• embedded Windows applications require significantly less storage space
• protects resources and code against peeking, disassemblers and decompilers
• no runtime royalties for distributing compressed programs
• compatible with executables created by Microsoft Visual C++, Visual Basic, Inprise (Borland) Delphi and C++ Builder, and other Win32 compilers.

Description

BoxedApp Packer is a developer utility for converting your regular full-fledged applications to single self-sustaining executable files that don't require the installation in order to be run. That literally means that you can squeeze all ActiveX controls, dynamic libraries, and just all kinds of files that your original application depends on into a single executable file and run it just as if that was a regular application installed the regular way. Packed in a single binary, your applications become ultra-mobile and can be run instantly from a removable disk or from a network location. Installation-free applications would carry their original functionality and be capable of utilizing the full power of your PC. At the same time, they wouldn't require any special privileges or affect shared computer resources, such as disk space or registry, as all embedded objects would be extracted directly into memory and utilize virtual space and registry instead of the physical ones. Even further, the functionality of your single-executable applications could be expanded by adding plugins to them. Plugins take advantage of a special API - BoxedApp SDK API, which allows creating virtual files "on the fly", working with the virtual registry, and a lot more. For instance, your application, when it starts, could load necessary DLLs over a network or through the Internet and then use them as if they were physically available on your hard drive. BoxedApp Packer is the way to making your software light, mobile and truly flexible.

Description

UPX achieves an excellent compression ratio and offers very fast decompression. Your executables suffer no memory overhead or other drawbacks for most of the formats supported, because of in-place decompression. UPX strengths in a nutshell:

• excellent compression ratio: typically compresses better than WinZip/zip/gzip, use UPX to decrease the size of your distribution.
• very fast decompression: ~10 MB/sec on an ancient Pentium 133, ~200 MB/sec on an Athlon XP 2000+.
• no memory overhead for your compressed executables because of in-place decompression.
• 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.
• portable: UPX is written in portable endian-neutral C++.
• extendable: because of the class layout it's very easy to add new executable formats or new compression algorithms.
• free: UPX is distributed with full source code under the GNU General Public License v2+, with special exceptions granting the free usage for commercial programs as stated in the UPX License Agreement. Source code is available from project's site.
