Comparing the original EXE with the modified one by this program shows, that it only removes a 0-byte-block at the beginning and the end of the EXE, which reduces the file size only a few kB - IMO this wouldn´t even give a remarkable difference for the loading time. Shortly said: completely useless! :-( Regards, Franz.
