kkrunchy is a small exe packer primarily meant for 64k intros.

Well, I did some test here, and this is a superb exe packer, get your copy right now!

Have you tested it with music and graphics resourced inside the Exe? I was going to do some comparisons with Upx, I saw this released on Pouet last night but it was almost bedtime so I didn't do anything.

Tried some tests with it and the results are startling. On a UPX'ed exe on best setting -9 an exe that came out at 73kb (with pic and music resourced, 210kb uncrunched) came out at 53kb with kkrunchy. Unbelievably good. That's like 20kb. Sheesh! 64kb freebasic demos are a very real possibility now.

I tried both Versions of KKrunchy with resourced gfx and music and the exe's wouldnt do anything at all.

That's odd. It works fine here

Same here Shockwave, it's a fantastic exe packer

I posted a topic in the freebasic forum today with a small exe attached, this exe was packed with this packer, maybe Clyde you can try it to see if it works for you?

It's most probably to do with the way that I use resources. As I use an .rc object file compiled to the main exe, and don't have any media included as Data statements.

Has anyone made/know if a batch file will work with KKrunchy, so it can be used with Send To[\b] ?

Cheers,

Why not just use bin2bas and include the files with the #include command?
