 I tried to compress sea.exe (1.3C for dos) with "upx --best",
 (the size reduced is dramatic, 968369 to 315602! 600k of diskspace saved!)
 but after compression, sea says "failed CRC-check" and refuses to run.
 I have some successful crack experiences by using SICE, TDX/TD5 etc.. but
 don't know how to deal with executables compiled by WATCOM.
 is anyone knows how to *patch* SEA so that it will ignore CRC checking?
 or could anyone please tell me where to *find* the WATCOM debugger?

really appreciate for your reply
