- LOWFIX - Patches PKLITE(tm) and EXEPACK files
-
-
- LOWFIX is a simple patch program for compressed executable
- programs which allows many of them to run under MS-DOS 5.0 when
- loading below 64K. Many programs that require the LOWFIX program
- that comes with DOS 5.0 can be patched and run without LOWFIX,
- thus allowing the compressed executable all memory available.
-
- LOWFIX has patches for the following:
-
- PKLITE Version 1.00/1.03: Patched to run in low memory.
- Works for both regular and extra compressed executables.
-
- PKLITE Version 1.05: Corrects bug, (minor ananomly) with
- certain programs that don't compress properly. Many
- programs that don't run when compressed, can be patched
- after compressing.
-
- EXEPACK: The majority of EXEPACKed files can be patched.
- These programs are identified by the 'Packed file is
- corrupt' message when run. Not all EXEPACKed files can
- be patched so ALWAYS keep a backup of the original
- before trying the LOWFIX. Newer packed files don't
- need to be patched, and LOWFIX doesn't try to patch
- them. There may be different older versions of packed
- files that don't get patched correctly.
