mIRC 6.03 (original):
size: ~ 2 MB
works normal: yes


mIRC 6.03 (upx compressed)
size: ~ 600 kb
works normal: yes


-----------------------------------------

now some explain this bull crap to me,
WHY mirc as normal compiled is 2 MB big and when compressed on some weird way by UPX is 3x smaller
and works same as original ?

dont compilers compress program code to itz maximum?
and if so how can UPX program compress it even more ?

compilers can compile to several different sizes...

it can compile to be small, to be fast, or to be as complete and stable as possible...

I don't know the program you used btw


If it ain't broken, don't fix it!

UPX is the compiler most virus/trojan/worm authors use.
probably for the small file sizes.
