TOTALCMD.EXE no longer packed, since when?

Post by *comrade »

I've noticed that TOTALCMD.EXE is no longer packed (with UPX which is what Christian used). Just curious, since what version?

Definitely not a complaint; packed .EXEs are not friendly to the OS in many ways:
- scrutinized by virus scanners (Christian mentioned this many times on this forum)
- take up private memory; have to be paged out to the pagefile.sys when the system is under memory pressure, instead of simply dropping the pages (described here: http://f0dder.reteam.org/packandstuff.htm )
- slower start-up

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
