At least D3X ... very good and not bloated ... I don't need CWSDPMI personally. > Any reason to still provide XPDF? or does that serve a different version?

I didn't say the list would be complete .... Packers: ### UPX ... but what one ??? Official (has evil NRV) ? Rugxulo's NO-NRV binary (can't decompress NRV) ?

Add D3X and possibly WDOSX ... they don't add much bloat. ... omit 16-bit DOG/16M, DOG/4SW, 16-bit SWALLO, ZUNE....blah, CWSDPMI (definitely at least versions <5), RSX/EMX, 16-bit Egro-DPMI, 32RTFM, VCPIONE/DPMIONE, ... > RayeR has been too busy to work on MUPDF/DJGPP further. > It's a nice beta, but it's far from finished. It mostly works and there is nothing better around.

Also TAR.BZ2 in ONE pass ? UNTGZKIR should be added because: - it works well - it works on 8086 (I hope) - it is Public Domain - it is not bloated - source is nice (hope it also compiles, not yet tested) > BTW, RAR v4 dropped DOS and also Win9x support Good.
