- In a recent comment, Mr. de Vries (I apologize if the spelling is wrong!)
- mentioned that diet, pklite, or lzexe does better than stacker (and by
- extrapolation, super stor) on large executables.
-
- Now that I have read this, I am contemplating compressing some of those
- really largeexecutables that I have.
-
- Which one does the best? I am aware that diet runs in a tsr mode, but
- I won't be using it in that capacity. I want to know in pure compression
- sense, which one does better (speed is also irrelevant).
-
- If I missed it in the FAQ, feel free to flame me.
