I would really wanted to understand why someone in his good senses nominated this article for deletion... Pretty stupid. Loudenvier 12:02, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UPX lossy compression

I have found that a binary compiled with DJGPP, then run through UPX, then run through UPX -d, will come out significantly smaller (sometimes by a factor of five or more!). Obviously UPX is stripping some useless parts of the binary — maybe debugging symbols. Could someone add to the article a section on this use of UPX? --Quuxplusone 28 June 2005 23:49 (UTC)

It does indeed strip debugging symbols, but so will the strip utility included with DJGPP. Nickptar 29 June 2005 01:47 (UTC)
