SHRINK (executable compression)

SHRINK is an executable compression utility for DOS .COM files. It uses run-length encoding.

The original SHRINK 1.0 (1988) was developed by Thomas G. Hanlin III. SHRINK 2.0 (1995) was developed by Kevin Tseng. The precise relationship between v1.0 and v2.0 is not clear.
