+ SHORT="UPX is a free, portable, extendable, high-performance executable packer for several different executable formats."
+cat << EOF
+
+
+ UPX is a versatile executable packer with the following features:
+
+ * excellent compression ratio: typically compresses better than WinZip/zip/gzip, use UPX to decrease the size of your distribution !
+
+ * very fast decompression: ~10 MB/sec on an ancient Pentium 133, ~200 MB/sec on an Athlon XP 2000+.
+
+ * no memory overhead for your compressed executables because of in-place decompression.
+
+ * safe: you can list, test and unpack your executables. Also, a checksum of both the compressed and uncompressed file is maintained internally.
+ * universal: UPX can pack a number of executable formats:
+ o atari/tos
+ o djgpp2/coff
+ o dos/com
+ o dos/exe
+ o dos/sys
+ o linux/386
+ o rtm32/pe
+ o tmt/adam
+ o watcom/le (supporting DOS4G, PMODE/W, DOS32a and CauseWay)
+ o win32/pe
+
+ * portable: UPX is written in portable endian-neutral C++
+
+ * extendable: because of the class layout it's very easy to add new executable formats or new compression algorithms
+
+ * free: UPX is distributed with full source code under the GNU General Public License, and may be used freely even with commercial programs.
