- Not exactly like that but two good programs are Turbo Imploder and Power
- Packer. TI is freeware and PP was a shareware program that has since gone
- commercial. Both are pretty good and work pretty well. I've used TI on
- all of my exec files (the big ones that take up lots of space!) and it has
- worked extremely well. You don't get 50% compression on everything but it
- is quite nice to get 35-40% in general. Not all programs can be compressed
- but those that can often shrink by around 50% or so. TI also warns you if
- the compression will not result in decent size reduction.
