- Unfortunately I've never studied seq-packers (I have what you call basic
- knowledge about them, as is: "Duh! A sequence-packer, you say? Well...eh ...
- They pack sequences, don't they?") ... If I knew more about the way the
- DarkSqueezer (or any other seq-cruncher) works, I could do even better EBC's.

- Hehe. I tested Rockstars XTC-Packer a lot back when I was doing one of the EBC
- upgrades. After a bit of DarkSqueezing me EBC kicked butt and the XTC-one lost.

- 4.0? The last one I got was 3.1 - guess I should have kept in touch with Zap
- and Paradroid, eh? :)
