- Description:
-
- This application is a multitasking utility to compress executables just as
- Acorn's Squeeze does, but usually more efficiently when mixed data is involved.
- The program also allows Relocatable Modules to be merged into a single
- executable which can then be crunched. Efficiency is usually better than
- Acorn's Squeeze or any LZW algorithm when compressing mixed code/data files.
- LZW can be a little bit better on pictures and Squeeze a little bit better
- on ARM-code-only data. Decompression speed is fast, although not as fast
- as Squeeze. NOTE: This is NOT an archiver! The files created are crunched
- and stay crunched for ever!
