I'm using PECompact for quite some time now.

1) Turn off 'Relocate export table'
2) Turn off crc checksum
3) Don't use the jcalg (imo), it failed me.

PS, does compress my 2.4MB app to ~400kb (!)
GUI is cumbersome espec. it's INI storage.

Using it with PEBundle, after bundle then compress.

Very nice.
Price is good.

You should know that I don't like paying for things, unless the price is very
cheap, or unless I have absolutely no choice...

Im using PECompact and specially PEBundle, they are great.

With PEBundle i can make some dlls be extracted and used without writting it to disk, im not sure how does it works, but PEBundle does it transparently. For me PEBundle/PECompact is a MUST if you distribute software.

Yep, but I don't have any.

A bit off-topic, but why is the first page of this thread so wide; I use a resolution of 1078x768 and I'm still scrolling left/right
