outperforms .kkrunchy, at least as far as I can tell (tested on a couple random small .exe files)

Very good work!
Rulz!!!
Excellent! Let the 64k exe packer competition begin. Ryg rested a long time on his kkrunchy fame without anybody even trying to challenge him.
I did some tests with various MSVC exes (20-300k). Most of them were actually packed better with kkrunchy, but there were also exceptions. I guess AND would have to explain a bit more how to optimize code and data for his packer.
hm, some results from my testcase suite: (which i use for finetuning+regression testing)
that's all i tested - no selection done based on results. all sizes are sizes of actual output .exe files. seems kkrunchy is still slightly better for intros, atleast the ones in my testcase collection (which i know is somewhat unfair because i use them for tuning, as said; then again, i didn't do much value-tweaking in the last 2 years).
the (de)packer is certainly on the slow side though - kk0.23a2 is based on the same general algorithm (context mixing+neural network weighting, paq-style), but i used very simplistic context models to minimize memory usage (about 2.5mb in my case) and maximize speed. i think 17s depacking for a 64k is somewhat excessive (several of the 64ks i named are in that range), but that could be called a matter of taste :)
anyway, thumbs up for finally getting some serious competition :)

quite impressive to see zoom3 being so small with this packer.
good to see some competition for ccrunchy
Good to have one more crazy packer around.
Keep them coming.
okay,here it is
competition = innovations = rulez :)
nice one there :)
let's beat ryg! ;)
why release bad software, when there is better software?
A thumb up to AND and magic can go fuck himself!!
hm, all apk2-packed exes apparently crash under windows vista.
Keep on working :)
nice release :)
forgot my thumb.
probably cool.
yes.
I recompress squish.exe by kkrunchy, and i get 51712 bytes file without ugly decompressing bar on the screen. Who's next? :)
correction of my above posting, not all apk2-packed exes crash under vista, it's just that nearly all of them crash during decompression, but they do that on other machines too :) - of the intros listed above, only fresnel and project genesis don't crash during depacking (on all my machines).
yeah
ok.. magic doesn't need to fuck himself.. tmb can go fuck himself instead!!
Neat. Might possibly be useable for a 96k game or such.
You rule.
Respect!!!!
yeah!
RulezZz!
This version of apk2 is great! I've been impressed. Decompression bar eats 176 bytes from file, and i always turn it off.
The new version seem to compress better than kkrunchy but some of the exe are crashing also the depacking bar is just throwing bytes away for nothing.
yay.
Great compression ratio, comparable to kkrunchy023a3 (45904 for apk2 vs 45568, on a prod I'm working on). However, it crashes when the intro starts, so piggy for now. It would be also nice to toggle off the decompression bar, unless there's a switch I missed.
cool - thanks for sharing this one :)
Think, it's cool tool for packing intros, but it's bad for packing hand-made soft. Time of decompressing is too high for them.
very good tool. on the oficial AND's site can be founded the newer version of tool, that more stable.thumb up!
part of zoom3 awesomeness.
:heart: (y)
