Title: Download location for PowerPacker?
Post by: motorollin on August 25, 2006, 07:38:47 PM

I'm trying to find the correct package for PowerPacker to let me pack executables. I've looked on Aminet and all I can find is a library with documentation for implementing PowerPacker functionality in to other programmes. I'm after a command to pack some executables so that they unpack when you run them.

motorollin : You could too use xpkPWPK with Vodoo-X (http://aminet.net/package.php?package=util/arc/Voodoo-X.lha) or What You Want Program that supports XPK (Xit, XPKatana...).

Otherwise, i could send you my old archives of Powerpacker ;-P

Unless running software from floppy disc, there should be no reason to compress executables.  However, if you insist, I believe StoneCracker is the most efficient.
