[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Reverse lzexe

erwvegm@cs.vu.nl (Erwin van Egmond) (03/15/91)

Hi,
  I don't know if this is the right newsgroup, but here's my
  question anyway.
  
  There is this program called : lzexe.exe (or lzexe.com)
  It compresses a executable file.
  When you start this compressed file it will decompress first 
  into memory and then it will be executed.

  My question now is : * Is there a program to reverse this process ?
			   ( Perhaps unlzexe.exe ?)
		       * If so, if it's shareware or Public domain
			 can someone mail it to me?

	Thanks in advance.

Yes there is.  Available eg from our site from the /pc/execomp
directory as unlzexe5.zip.
