Ah, so that
is you in the UPX forums!
I just posted a question there.
(I want to know how to compress a 16-bit DOS app).

I thought that preventing decompression was a violation of the upx user license agreement? Not, sure, I could be wrong. Not that I want anyone the decompress my apps.
Anyways,
Nice work!

Modyfying the upx stub was prohibited. All i do is modify bytes of your compressed exe....
The stub which is imbedded in each UPX compressed program is part
of UPX and UCL, and contains code that is under our copyright. The
terms of the GNU General Public License still apply as compressing
a program is a special form of linking with our stub.

Great!
I have always loved upx and as I said, I would rather not see people decompressing my app. At least not the easy way. Keep up the good work.
Regards,
Storck

can the exe be decompressed with your app after the protection.

No thats y i call it protection. The compressed file will always be backed up first before editing it. You see what my "Protect" File functions do is nothing more then replace a couple of bytes with 00. So that upx can still regognise them but can't (de)compress them....
