LZEXE is an executable compression utility, developed by Fabrice Bellard. It compresses DOS .EXE files.
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
- UNLZEXE - A widely-distributed open source utility that does static decompression of LZEXE-compressed executables. Originally by Mitugu Kurizono (Kou). Versions "0.6" and above include patches by other authors, and might be unofficial.
