PKLITE and PKLITE Professional are easy-to-use file compression
programs used to compress DOS and Windows 3.x executable files. Both programs increase valuable disk space by compressing executables by an
average of 45%. It might also reduce that start-up time of many programs because of reduced drive access
time.
PKLITE Professional allows you to compress your files even more to make
your executables smaller yet. It also contains several more options that add even more flexibility to your data compression. Perhaps the most valuable
feature, however, is that PKLITE Professional protects your executables against reverse engineering. If you use the extra compression option, you
can't even expand the file using PKLITE Professional.
PKLITE and PKLITE Professional compress the following
executables:
For Windows 3.x: .EXE, .DLL, and .DRV files.
For DOS: .EXE, .COM, .DRV, and .SYS files.
PKLITE compresses your files like PKZip, but it also adds a small amount of
extraction code at the beginning of each executable file. When you run an application that has been compressed by PKLITE, the program automatically
expands into memory and runs. The compression process does not change the operation of the program; it merely reduces the disk space required to
store the program. PKLITE can also expand your files back to their original size
(DOS only).
