ASPack
ASPack is a computer executable (or program) compression utility for 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems. Developed by Alexey Solodovnikov, ASPack reduces the file size of programs by as much as 70% (a compression ratio up to 20% greater than that of the industry-standard ZIP file format).
Compression of this sort reduces storage requirements, decreases load times across networks, decreases download times from the Internet, and hinders reverse engineering.
Programs compressed with ASPack are self-contained and show no functional differences for users. The compression utility is compatible with executables created by Microsoft Visual C++, Visual Basic, Inprise (Borland) Delphi and C++ Builder, and other Win32 compilers.
