[rec.games.hack] Compress NetHack

barton@latcs1.oz.au (The Wasp) (08/04/90)

I have tried to compress the NetHack executable (which is 700k ish)
with PowerPackerv2.2a but it doesn't seem to decompress properly.

Does anyone know of a compression program (for amiga) which compresses
a command file and leaves the compressed version executable? (like P.P. 2.2)

I figure this would lower the load time (about 110seconds off floppy) and if
the decompression routine was fast (like P.P.) decrease the overall load time
