Hi.. I started this project about 3 months ago and just recently started working on it again.. right now it's an early alpha as there isn't much to the program. If you would like to give bugs.. suggestions or comments on the program.. I'd appreciate it, just post here on the forum. This is my first project that's fairly completed in purebasic.

Thanks go out to everyone in #purebasic and on the forums for peieces of code and help

clx,

I just tried it - it looks good and works! A couple of suggestions:

1) You should show the before/after file sizes and compression ratio reported by UPX. I wasn't sure if everything was OK after the progress bar reached the end.

2) An entry in the context (right-click) menu would be handy.

BTW, these aren't my original ideas; UPXG does both of these.

bugs:
- lots..
- can't open about window more than once.. seems to be a problem with opening and using a windowed directx window in an application? anyways.. I'll try to figure it out.

hope you find it useful.

I would like to download this GUI front-end to UPX but I always get the error 'This page cannot be displayed' when I click on the supplied link (or any leading part of the link).
Is an alternative download site available?

Found a couple of bugs on it:

o Doesn't always work on XP (several crashes before it starts)
o Requires DX7 (doesn't work on NT)
o Progress bar is not attached to the real progress (on a P166 it finishes even before the progress starts

)
o Console is 200% faster... LOL

This is not a critic, your proggy is excellent work...
Keep it up!
