S - EXEC V1.1  The S-series stable has been growing steadily, but has not so far included a program for creating compressed executable files which behave in all respects like normal executables - imploded execs. Hence S-Exec. S-Exec does a similar job to the excellent programme "IMPLODER", but does it a great deal more simply, using a lot less memory in the process. It uses the standard P-Compress compression code. Another program that will produce imploded execs is of course PowerPacker, but it is less efficient than Imploder. The latest Imploder will handle some large programs with overlays such as DPaint. S-Exec (at present) and PowerPacker (at present) will not. Use S-Exec if you like simple efficient programs, otherwise use the complex and even more efficient Imploder.  INSTRUCTIONS  As always very simple: To create the executable open a CLI and type: S-Exec The must be different from , you cannot directly replace execs with their self-exploding offspring. It is a good idea to add an extension (.se) to the outfile to distinguish it. The will be rejected if it is not executable - a definition that includes libraries - or is already compressed. The input exec will be stripped of any unnecessary hunks (debug and symbol), compressed, and prefaced with a decompressing header (approx 1250 bytes). For Workbench use provide the executable with a TOOL type icon. In use treat the file just like any other executable. A switch `-c' is provided to allow recovery of the original. Type at a CLI: S-Exec -c ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ S-Exec is Freeware. It may be copied and distributed freely and used without charge for non-commercial purposes.
