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
- UNLZEXE - A widely-distributed open source utility, originally by Mitugu Kurizono (Kou). Versions "0.6" and above include patches by other authors, and might be unofficial.
- mz-explode
- Deark (with
-m lzexe
option) - Rizzle
Dynamic decompression software
- For some examples, see Executable compression#Decompression software.
