Lzexe

The article should mention that "LZEXE" (written by some young kid in France nobody had ever heard of before) pretty much single-handedly invented this category of programs (at least as far as widespread use on microcomputers goes), leaving PKWARE and the others hurrying to catch up...

Merge

Support

  1. Yes, Exe Packers and Executable compression should be merged -- they are synonoms. The Exe Packers article seems much better maintained and descriptive than does this one. --db90h 08:44, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Would you be so kind to mention also applications which are able to detect these often bad used exepacker/compressors ? For example, see at http://www.z80eu/otherdelphi.html ... there is an application which is able to find these files in a generic way also. Please consider this. Thank you.
