Hi.Is it possible to add PKLite decompression ?
thank you

FWIW, I use UNP 4.12 to depack these files under Dosbox-X. If this is something you consider adding support for, it might be worth reversing that to see what it does. Also supports a bunch of other dos-era compressors.

Actually, no reversing necessary! Source code is here: https://bencastricum.nl/unp/unp4-src.zip

I did some investigation and while I have previously drawn border of not implementing executable packers, this seems to be implementable (at least in its unobfuscated form). But it also has to practical implementation

• It is easily identifiable
• It seems to be non-lossy compression i.e. you can go back to working executable again
• Also, it is rather popular.

I'll investigate and if I see there is value adding support to it (what existing tools do not yet do) I'll implement it
