File Format
Name LZEXE
Ontology
Released 1989

LZEXE is an executable compression utility, developed by Fabrice Bellard. It compresses DOS .EXE files.

Contents

Identification

LZEXE-compressed files normally have ASCII "LZ09" or "LZ91" at offset 28.

As with most compressed executable formats, more-robust identification is possible, by looking for the characteristic decompression code.

Software

Compression software

  • LZEXE v0.90 (1989-10-30) - French
    • lzexe_e.zip - v0.90 with documentation translated to English by Luigi M. Bianchi
  • LZEXE v0.91 (1990-01-02) - French
    • lzexe91.zip - v0.91 with English-language supporting material by Luigi M. Bianchi and Earle Robinson
  • LZEXE v0.91e (1990-10-15) (also here) - English
  • "LZEXE v1.00a" by IS2 France Diffusion. Seems to be functionally identical to LZEXE 0.91.
  • lzexeeng.zip - English translation of v0.91, unknown origin

Static decompression software

Dynamic decompression software
