UPX is a free, portable, extendable, high-performance executable packer for several different executable formats. It achieves an excellent compression ratio and offers very fast decompression. Your executables suffer no memory overhead or other drawbacks because of in-place decompression.
- New format Mach/AMD64 supports 64-bit programs on Apple Macintosh
- New formats Dylib/i386 and Dylib/ppc32 support shared libraries
- Init function (LC_ROUTINES command) is required
- New format vmlinuz/armel for Debian NSLU2 (etc.) linux kernel
- Bvmlinuz boot protocol 2.08 for 386 Linux kernel
- Extended ABI version 4 for armel-eabi ARM Linux ELF

To "therube" below:
You are right on this. That is why I suggested that they include it in FileForum yesterday night.
You can contribute too: whenever you find that there is a program or a new version of an existing program which was not posted in FileForum, suggest it to the Forum. They usually act fast on your suggestion.
To do this, click on "List a Program" at the top of the page, whose address is

My portable Alpx folder has these files:
COMDLG32.OCX
LZOP100 & 101.EXE
upx.1, .doc, & .html
UPX291.EXE (upx.exe)
Must have for portable standalone aps.
