no, that's not a patcher... that's another decompressor... the kennedy
software patcher is the one i was thinking of... there's more than one
known as patchcrt and that's why i was confused...

yup... i have pklite, lzexe and unp here... i've gotten to where i use unp
for unpacking most all DOS executables... once i get them unpacked and
patched, i save them so that i hopefully don't have to do it again... if
systems i host need them, it is easy enough to transfer them over as long
as i can find them...
