	Chilkat Create Self-Extracting EXE from Zip  License: Freeware
	Create self-extracting ZIP files optionally with unbreakable AES encryption. The ChilkatZip Self-Extractor can safely encrypt the contents of your ZIP file with 128, 192, or 256-bit AES Encryption. To unzip, a user must provide the same password that was used when creating the self-extracting EXE. AES encryption is much stronger than standard ZIP encryption, which is regarded by security experts as being unsecure. Chilkat's streaming compression and encryption technology allows the ChilkatZip Self-Extractor to create an EXE from any size ZIP file. The streaming compression and decryption technology also ensures that it will be possible to unzip the archive on your end-user's computer, even if that computer has very little memory.

	Interactive JPEG Optimizer  License: Freeware
	Interactive JPEG Optimizer is the premier solution for compressing JPEG images singly or in batches. The latest version is faster than ever, sports a brand new, more logical interface and even supports scanning! It allows you to visually see the effect of compression (something some expensive graphics packages expect you to do blind), with tools for cropping, resizing, controlling contrast/brightness and color balance - all while keeping an eye on file size and loading time for an average modem. Use Hotkeys to show and hide tool windows, view original and optimized images side by side - Interactive JPEG Optimizer never changes your original image; it always works with a copy so if you make a mistake you can start over from scratch! Tired of how long it takes to email photos to family and friends? Zipping the image helps, but graphics files, unlike plain text files can be enormous! This is strictly related to the image size and the compression algorithm used to originally store the file. Over the years, a variety of compression algorithms have been developed to reduce the size of the stored image without adversely affecting the image quality. Some of our competitors claim to take advantage of advanced compression techniques, such as variable compression, yet when we took a 63K Before image from one of our competitor's websites, we were able to achieve similar quality to their After image in under 4K - the best they could manage was almost 10K! Comprehensive online help walks you through the image optimization process step by step, clearly explaining every aspect of the image optimization process. If you need additional help Handy Productions offers free pre-sale and post-sale technical support to every user of Interactive JPEG Optimizer! This is the Must Have graphics utility for anyone who uses a digital camera, scanner, has a website or just has a lot of images on their hard drive - why not add it to your graphics toolbox today?

	PECompact (Student version)  License: Freeware
	PECompact compresses Windows modules (EXE, DLL, SCR, etc..) substantially, while leaving them able to be run just as before. At runtime, compressed modules are rapidly decompressed in memory. Smaller (<50%) size usually means quicker load time. PECompact generally compresses files much smaller than if they had been compressed by modern data compression software such as RAR. This is accomplished by restructuring and pre-processing that make modules more compressible. Compression also adds a layer of security to modules that resists tampering and reverse engineering. PECompact supports multiple compression formats, including LZMA, through the use of CODEC plug-ins. Custom loaders (decompression) stubs and API hook plugins are also able to be utilized. Advanced configuration includes selection of resource types that should be compressed as well as other parameters that offer a great deal of control over how modules are compressed. A GUI and console mode application that supports wildcards and directory recursion are included. THIS FREEWARE (STUDENT) VERSION MAY ONLY BE USED TO COMPRESS MODULES THAT WILL NOT BE SOLD OR BARTERED IN ANY WAY. Author: Bitsum Technologies| Date: 14-06-2004 | Size: 900 KB
