- Have you tried imploder? Imploder will compress your executables (and all
- your other files if you'd like) so they are still executable but smaller.
- Whenevery you want to run an imploded program, Imploder decompresses it in
- memory first. It reduces space usage in your HD.

- It is very slow though on my 68000 based A2000.
