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). - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

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.
