@RL_Dane Oh, compressing executables still makes sense in *some* scenarios (relevant size reduction, not using a filesystem with transparent compression, "slow" storage media ...).

But then, #gzexe doesn't really cut it. It needs temporary files for decompression (spoiling most possible speed gains), and compression rates are mediocre. So *if* you have a use case for compressed executables, you'd better have a look at #upx, which achieves better rates and decompresses in-memory, in-place.
