ShrinkWrap is a utility that compresses Windows 9x/NT4/w2k executables and DLLs to, typically, less than half their original size while leaving them 100% functional. ShrinkWrapped applications occupy less disk space, cost less to distribute, are loaded quicker across networks, decrease network traffic, and are more difficult to reverse-engineer and modify.
ShrinkWrap works by compressing the code, data, import directory, selected resources and other portions of Windows executables. The executable is decompressed and rebuilt at runtime with no noticeable delay. In fact, compressed executables can actually load quicker in some cases because there is less data to be retrieved from the disk or network. Both compression algorithms used by ShrinkWrap feature an optimized, 32bit x86 assembly language decompressor for maximum data throughput.
