Well, any platform that can run Prime95's code (Win32/PE) will run a packed
Prime95, so I don't see platform dependence issues here. The compression is
completely transparent, and I don't understand your objection. The
executable itself is still standalone, and for distribution must be ZIPped
up with the other ancilliary files.
