Re[2]: [MP3 ENCODER] lame binaries
Hello Dmitry, i'm using UPX executable packer http://upx.tsx.org exe packers are very tempting to reduce size, and I myself have done that before, however, this method has it downsides as well, although not many people are aware of it or telling you. For some arguments for _not_ using an exe packer, have a look at http://www.jrsoftware.org/striprlc.htm#execomp To put it short: I'd prefer non-packed versions, especially the library versions shouldn't be packed.

Re[4]: [MP3 ENCODER] lame binaries
Hello Jaroslav, If you download upx packer, you can simply to unpack packed files. yes, of course, but this is true vice versa as well: you can pack the files with UPX if you wish to. Also, how many people know of UPX, how many know that you can unpack it, and how many know that those files were packed? There should be at least a comment about the fact that they're packed with UPX. I'd stay out of trouble and play it save, i.e. not pack them. Imagine someone with an old virus scanner gets a virus warning, panics and posts something like "There's an mp3 encoder floating around called LAME that's actually a virus!" on the web - wouldn't be the best publicity, would it? Just my 2 cents, Holger Dors mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MP3 ENCODER mailing list ( http://geek.rcc.se/mp3encoder/ )

There should be at HD least a comment about the fact that they're packed with UPX. open lame.exe in something like NC editor, you'll see: $Info: This file is packed with the UPX executable packer http://upx.tsx.org $ $Id: UPX 1.01 Copyright (C) 1996-2000 the UPX Team.
