Hi All!

Upx 0.81, an executable file packer for djgpp2 (& linux/i386 & win32/pe
& dos/exe &...) programs is available at:

http://www.nexus.hu/upx
http://wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at/mfx/upx.html

Changes in 0.81 (04 Aug 1999)
  * win32/pe: fixed an important bug in import handling
  * dos/com: fixed an internal error that could happen with very small files
Changes in 0.80 (03 Aug 1999)
  * you can set some default options in the environment var `UPX'
  * dos/com: the decompressor stub now checks for enough free memory
  * dos/exe: decompressor rewritten, some bugs are fixed
  * dos/exe: new option `--no-reloc': no relocation data is put into
    the DOS header
  * tmt/adam: added support for more stubs, detect already packed files
  * tmt/adam: new option `--copy-overlay'
  * wc/le: reduced memory requirement during uncompression (<= 8Kbytes)
  * wc/le: support files which do not contain their stack in the last object
  * wc/le: fixed a bug which could cause a crash, improved relocation
    handling
  * wc/le: new option `--copy-overlay'
  * win32/pe: `--compress-icons=2' is now the default
  * win32/pe: even better TLS support
  * win32/pe: versioninfo works on NT
  * win32/pe: import by ordinal from kernel32.dll works
  * win32/pe: other import improvements: importing a nonexistant DLL
    results in a usual Windows message, importing a nonexistant function
    results in program exit (instead of crash ;-)
  * win32/pe: new option: `--compress-resources=0'
  * win32/pe: reduced memory requirement during uncompression, some
    files might even require LESS memory when they're compressed
  * win32/pe: TYPELIBs should work now
  * win32/pe: improved relocation handling, 16 bit relocations should work
  * win32/pe: new option `--strip-relocs' (only if you know what you are doing)
  * win32/pe: new option `--copy-overlay'
  * important internal changes: now the stubs are built at runtime

Spread & enjoy,
Laszlo & Markus
