| Announcing the Only Product to Create Directly Executable Compressed 16 & 32 bit Windows Programs! | |
Richmond VA, March 23, 1997 - Blinkinc today
announced the release of Shrinker 3.0, a revolutionary new
product which compresses and transparently decompresses 16 and 32
bit Windows programs. A unique, safe and simple solution to
"software bloat", Shrinker 3.0 is the only product in
the world to create 16 and 32 bit Windows programs compressed by
up to 70% which execute directly, with no separate
decompression step.
New features introduced in Shrinker 3.0 include:
Compatible with programs created by virtually any
Windows or real mode DOS compiler, including Visual Basic,
Delphi, C/C++, C++ Builder, CA-VO, CA-Clipper and much
more, Shrinker improves network performance, minimizes
distribution and storage costs and protects valuable software
from decompilers.
Unlike conventional archiving and compression software, any .EXE,
DLL or OCX compressed with Shrinker will transparently
decompress itself into memory at runtime, with no separate
decompression step required. Programs compressed with Shrinker
often load faster as a result of their reduced size,
there is no degradation of program runtime performance and the
compressed programs are completely self-contained, needing no
additional runtime files.
By reducing the amount of data actually transmitted and
decompressing the program on the local workstation at runtime,
Shrinker minimizes LAN, WAN and Internet traffic to optimize
network performance. And unlike disk compression utilities which
compress all of the data stored on the disk, Shrinker's selective
compression of programs and components means there is no risk of
data loss. As an added bonus, Shrinker's compression even
encrypts computer software to act as an effective protection
against decompilers and there are no runtime royalties
to pay.
According to Jud Cole, President of Blinkinc, "As
software applications are enhanced, they seem to need more and
more runtime libraries and components to function effectively
within the Windows environment. Shrinker minimizes this
"software bloat" without the risks associated with
traditional disk compression software and you don't even need to
be a programmer to use it! With the increase in Intranet and
Internet programming, we are really excited about the future of
this technology".
