UPX for PocketPC, now available in beta with PPC .exe support

Hi all.

Thought this might be interesting for some of us:
http://upx.sourceforge.net

It is a runtime packer, which packs the .exe and will extract it in memory when it is started.
The newest beta does support .exe for ARM-PPC.

On PPC's it makes in my eyes sense to pack some .exe.
I actually saved maybe 3 MB of valuable space with compressing some .exe
Some Example-Programs I packed:
ICQ.EXE went from 1251 KB to 469 KB
XNVIEW.EXE went from 890K to 369 KB
REPLIGO.EXE went from 478K to 188 KB

All are running well so far. I made a backup of them to storage card, in case that they dont work when I am on the run.

Regards
Thorsten
