There IS an EXE-packer for MSX.
PMARC has a module named PMAEXE2.COM that can be joined to your
PMARC file, turning it into a EXE-packed. Don't confuse with PMASFX2.COM,
that is a self-extract module for PMARC files.
But I don't see many advantages in using it. Generally, MSX
programs are small (yes! we don't have windows!!!) and the PMA-unpacker is
somewhat slow...

UNISYS royalties are "only" US$2000 for using LZH decompression
algorithms in your program... :O
If I remember right, freewares aren't subject to this.
