No.
Use mlp104 instead. PKLITE only works with real mode DOS programs (at
least the version that is commonly used does, I think their WWW page
also advertises something that can handle DLLs etc), so djgpp, Watcom,
BC DPMI etc. programs are not working, I think. It will just compress
the stub and ignore the rest.
Even if they were working, since mlp uses a pretty fast asm
decompression function in protected mode, it should be faster than
pklite anyway.
