SCRNCH is a Data Compressor that performs very well in two key respects: The compressed data is extremely small, and it is very easy for any IBM PC (or compatible) user to reconstruct the original data. Unlike some other data
compressors, SCRNCH is a program whose output is also a program, called a self-booting or self-extracting
program.
SCRNCH accepts one input file and one optional user exit
file, and creates one output file. The output file is a program that reconstructs the original input file when it is
run. The output program contains a built-in deSCRNCHer, followed by the exit routine, if any, followed by the
SCRNCHed data.
Features of SCRNCH itself:
You can customize the output of SCRNCH, to provide information or instructions about your package.
Two modes of operation allow SCRNCHing of program and non-program files.
Compressed data is self-extracting or self-booting.
Both .EXE and .COM types of programs are supported.
Options allow you to control the execution speed and degree of compression.
