PKTINY, also written PK-TINY, is an executable compression utility that tries to make life difficult for those who want to decompress such files. It was developed by VGA-Software and Thomas Mönkemeier.

It compresses DOS EXE files. The files it creates are a corruption of TINYPROG format, but superficially look more like PKLITE.

Identification

A PKTINY-compressed file normally contains the ASCII strings "This program runs only on i80286 and above." and "Program was modified and will not run." somewhere in it.
