Notwithstanding that aPack itself doesn't include possibility to extract original executable, you _may_ (manually or with some program) extract executable and remove stub. (Extracted executable willn't neccessarily be 100% equal, because aPack doesn't preserves garbage in headers, but this is garbage). After this, program will continue to work, as before. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
