 Not need to wait for next release - as temporary solution, you may
re-release current DISPLAY (with same version number or with increased
number), but packed by another packer (for example, aPACK). More smart
(and independent) solution (but UPX anyway should be fixed): reduce program
image size, by removing explicit buffers initialization (replace "0" in .asm
sources by "?"), and increase minmem= field in .exe header (use -s option of
COM2EXE). In this case, you may even omit exe-packing at all (because real
code of DISPLAY is small - packing need, because currently DISPLAY
executable contains initialization garbage).

My shame, but I am still not working in a new DISPLAY at the moment.
Will keep it, though, for when I start with DISPLAY 0.14.

 No - this is because bug in UPX stub, which doubles requested memory
size (for COM2EXE converted programs). Thus, 64k of requested memory for
DISPLAY.EXE become 128k of requested memory after UPXing DISPLAY.EXE.

 And I don't hear that someone repost my analyze for UPX bug to UPX
maintainers.
