Hi,

after fixing a memory corruption in HTMLHELP [1], I need to publish a new 
binary. I noticed that the APACK [2] compressed file is 53067 bytes, while the 
UPX compressed file is 55292 bytes, so ~4% better compression when using APACK.

UPX 5.02 settings  : --8086 --best
APACK 1.00 settings: -1 -x

What is our policy regarding the inclusion of APACKed binaries? This is 
freeware, but no free software. I don't care, but others probably do?
