PECompact is a utility that compresses Windows 9x/NT4/w2k portable executables (EXEs, DLLs, screen savers, etc..), while leaving them completely functional. PECompact compresses the code, data, selected resources, and import/export table of a win32 executable and optimizes its structure. It then installs a piece of code -- a symbiote -- that decompresses the executable at run-time without any noticeable speed difference. Load time can actually be improved in some cases because less data is required to be retrieved from the disk or network.
Our Review: Decent compression software in the 'Home Productions' mould. Small in size but well-detailed in terms of configuration options, PE Compact does a decent job on Window's executables and operates with a very small footprint. Not flash and not particularly versatile but well-designed for its principle task.
