Hi all more experienced, I'm trying to revise and update dosemu-freedos package (subset of FreeDOS stuff used in DOSEMU usual installation) and I'm not sure, what is better - whether packaged programs by UPX or not. Actual dosemu-freedos-1.0-bin.tgz contains 40+ binaries, roughly half of them is packed with UPX - generally as FreeDOS program maintainers did. And I'm not sure, what is optimal, use UPX or not. On some binaries it cause significant space reduction - e.g. 'display.exe' 0.13b has 62535 Byte, and UPXed has only 3651 Byte. On other hand - at current disks sizes few (dozen or hundred) kB is nothing, and UPX packaging has perhaps its own disadvantages - and maybe especially with TSRs (as 'display.exe' is) this may lead to memory fragmentation(?). Thus, what is Your opinion on the use of UPX?
