  Hi there!

  We are happy to present WWPACK 3.05 - the most powerful and advanced
executable file compressor that has ever been written for DOS. This is
beta4 version. This means that we are not sure if it work. Furthermore
this version is certainly full of bugs!
  That's why 

       WE CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES NOR DATA LOSS!

  There is no documentation available yet. And there won't be as long
as only beta version is available. To get more infos about WWPACK please
refer to the WWPACK 3.04a documentation.


         WWPACK 3.05 *CANNOT* be used with WWPACK Shell 1.00!

    - higher compression ratio (especially with very long files)
    - new antivirus system (now WWVIR will remove viruses)
    - some bugs are fixed and some added
    - possibility of adding antihack code directly between our procedures!!!
    - -p option lets you create unextractable files compressed with password <E>
    and much much more (this file is not a good place to store all points).

    - some internal minor changes
  WWPACK 3.05 beta4:   1 Dec 1996
    - recognizing some new EXE compressors/protectors
    - improved 'U' when the header of the packed file is extended
      (for example when comment is added)
    - improved 'PU' HARD compression method
    - fixed problems with running files compressed with 'PU' HARD under QEMM
      (thanks to Grischa Brockhaus!)
    - EXEINFO 1.05 is released with this version

  Hey! We need your help! Do you have self-loading Windows NE EXE description?
The only text describing Self Loading EXE NE structure we found (Borland
Pascal documentation and Ralph Brown Interrupt List) is not sufficient!
Does anybody can help us? We will be very grateful! We are waiting for ideas
on creating WWPACK for Windows 95/NT also!

  Bye for now and see you in WWPACK 3.05 beta5!
