EXE Pack File Test     -     Uncompressed Size 341,444 bytes
The EXE Pack test compares programs that compress .EXE files and still
allows them to execute.  The .EXE file used in this test is GWS.EXE
found in The Graphic Workshop v7.0e by Alchemy Mindworks Inc.  The
UNCOMP. TIME data shows the amount of time it takes to uncompress
and run the executable file.  This time was calculated using a utility
called BENCH 0.01beta written by Michal Weis (weis@elf.stuba.sk).
The results for ACB, RAR and PKZIP are listed only to show how normal
archivers compression ratios compare with EXE Packers.

OPTIONS:  U - The EXE Packer has the ability to uncompress the .EXE
              file back into its original form.
          E - The EXE Packer has the ability to encrypt the .EXE file
          P - The EXE Packer has the ability to add error protection
              data so it can inform the user if the file has been
              changed in any way (ie: infected by a virus)
