ExeLITE, also named ELITE, is an executable compression utility for DOS. It was developed by Patryk E. Glowacz and Adam Augustyn / Code Blasters. It compresses EXE files (to EXE), and COM files (to COM or EXE).

It also has a "self extracting data" feature, which compresses a data file to raw machine code that can be incorporated into a DOS program.

Version 2 adds a feature to compress a data file to a non-executable file format.

Identification

EXE: A likely signature is ASCII "ELITE" at offset 26.

COM: (TODO)

"self extracting data": (TODO)

Compressed data file format: Files apparently start with ASCII "ELITE2", followed by bytes 0x0a 0x0d.
