bgpk v5.6 (body guard packer)

"bgpk" is an established 68k executable file packer that allows people to
apply protection to programs, improve compatability with programs that
were intended for a unix like operating system and using some of the very
latest in compression technology.

Unlike other executable file packer's if the system does not meet the
requirements then the core is not unpacked.

OS2+ programs are now prevented from crashing your "ROM 1.x" system.

Packed results may be independent or require a shared library or
require a shared data compression unpacker depending on user choice.

I believe "bgpk" handles more files than any other executable file
packer on above "ROM 1.x".

To my knowledge no executable packer does Hollywood programs and allow
them to run.

Although it does not allow compiled Hollywood programs to run, unpacked
Hollywood programs will return to full functionality.

At the end of the day a minority of executable files are not suitable
for executable packing.

"bgpk" is also a great file info program.

"bgpk" is most likely the most flexible in regards to GUI configurability
by providing a lot of support for doing so including directory utilities.
