I'm pretty sure I've had it working on my system some (long) time ago.
Probably need to put some more intelligence into it, because these 
figures must have been adapted to the djgpp environment I had back then.

I took djeoe from the web myself, and it didn't help me much;-(
I will try to dig into it some time soon, if anybody is interested...

O, and I must say that I tested the [compressed with...] stuf only for 
upx upto version 0.71, and I know for sure that version 0.84 doesn't 
work (tested today), because the following 2 are needed
for 0.84 en 0.94:
>>>&1	string		>\0		%.4s]
>>0x8ec string		UPX		[compressed w/%s
>>>&1	string		>\0		%.4s]
>>0x8ff string		UPX		[compressed w/%s
>>>&1	string		>\0		%.4s]

I'll have a look at the upx sources to get a better way of fetching 
these numbers, because they don't seem to be very stable.

Greetings,
 Robert
