I think this method has a big problem: you can't debug your executable file.

Be careful with DJP 1.02, because it has an ugly bug in djpstub.asm.
It's corrected in DJP 1.03.

Bye, ML

Ps: DJP 1.04 will be out this week (Friday?)
    - better compression
    - faster decompression  
    - integrity check
    - stubless decompressor (works with PMODE/DJ - nice with Quake :)
      (You can add your own en/decryption functions easily.) 
    - and much more 

    For the compression report, look at:
