TINYPROG converts EXE and COM programs to a smaller file size. TINYPROG
compresses most programs from 10% to 30%. Before it runs, the compressed program
thoroughly verifies that it has not been tampered with or accidentally changed. Software
developers may include easily patched, un-compressed data with their TINYPROG'ed programs.
TINYPROG produces significantly smaller files than EXEPACK. Plus, corrupted TINYPROG'ed
programs generally quit gracefully, rather than locking up the machine.
TINYPROG gives the program developer an area in the program file that is as easy to patch
as if the program were a COM file.
TINYPROG allows you to stop those without knowledge of a password from running a program.
TINYPROG will not convert:
DOS;
COMMAND.COM;
Programs with internal overlays;
Programs that configure themselves by writing data back into the program file. Such
programs must either be made TINYPROG-aware by the program's author, or they may not be
re-configured after being TINYPROG'ed;
