LEXEM is an executable compression utility for DOS. Little is known about it, and no copies of it have been found. It is Japanese-centric.

It was developed by Teddy Matsumoto[1]. It is a predecessor of DIET.

[edit] Disambiguation

Not related to the Lexem programming language [1].

[edit] Discussion

DIET v1.00's documentation says that DIET "is an outgrowth of LEXEM," and that its "method of compression is similar to Lexem093.exe with @ switch."

[edit] Software

Decompression:

  • XOE33C.ZIP → X-OPEN (XO.EXE) - Claims to decompress LEXEM-compressed files

It's possible that other multi-format decompressors would work; see Executable compression#Decompression software.

Other:

  • CHK4COMP - Identification utility
  • DirX - Identification utility
