I found an intersting program that allows you to compress linux exec thingys, it made TuxNes go from about 4ish MB to 80ish KB and the TuxNes GUI go from 60ish kb to 17ish KB. It might be useful =) I have only tested it on one computer though, and I don't know how it will run on older machines.

Great, but will it make any difference if Damn Small is compressed with cloop? It's like gzexe - with cloop it makes no difference, as it gzips things anyway.
