NeoLite 2.0
Trial Version

IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT AND I.T. PROFESSIONAL TOOL.  IT PROVIDES
GREAT BENEFIT WHEN USED PROPERLY.  BE SURE TO READ THE ACCOMPANYING
DOCUMENTATION BEFORE USING.

NeoLite compresses Windows 32-bit .EXE files and DLLs.
It compresses them in such a manner that they are still executed normally. No
additional software is required to run the compressed software, it is completely
transparent.  There is no speed penalty incurred.

The slowest thing in a typical computer system is the hard drive (or worse,
the network connection), so many programs actually load faster after being
compressed with NeoLite.  Execution performance is completely unchanged, and
in a networked office it can greatly reduce network traffic from the loading
of executables from central servers.

NeoLite typically provides a 50% space savings, sometimes over 70%!

NeoLite can be used with any standard .EXE and .DLL files, and most .OCX and
.VBX files, including those created with Visual Basic, Visual C++, Inprise
(Borland) Delphi, C++ Builder, WatCom C++, LabView, etc.

NeoLite should not be used on self-extracting archive files.

About this Trial Version

This trial version of the software is identical to the commercial version in
every way except:

Files compressed with the trial version are slightly larger to accommodate a
dialog box which will pause any program compressed with this version.

The purpose of the dialog box is to inform someone running a program
compressed with the trial version that it was compressed with the trial
version. Distributing a file compressed with the trial is expressly forbidden.
The dialog is intentionally annoying to discourage abuse of the trial version.

As the trial is fully functional in every other way you can make a complete
evaluation of the software and how useful it will be to you.  Be sure to keep
backups of files you compress with the trial so that you can restore them
later and be rid of the informational dialog.

Version Info

This release represents a major retooling of NeoLite.  The user interface has been rewritten and a new CLI only interface is now included.  The compressor/extractor offers several major new features.

Major Changes from 1.04 to 2.0:

 NEW Improved GUI with the same familiar simplicity of operation and support for the new compression options.

 NEW CLI-only interface (NeoLiteCli.exe)

 NEW NeoDataSim(tm) allows you to compress applications which were previously impossible to compress.  You can now compress programs with absolute address references into the data or code segments.  Programs which fall into this category are typically an interpreter with appended script and data such as those created with Director, WinBatch, etc. NeoLite is the first and only product with this feature.

 NEW Reversible Compression.  For reversible compression use the 'Compress' button, for non reversible compression use the 'Max Comp.' Button.  Files compressed in a reversible way are not as small since not as many optimizations can be made as when a file is compressed with the irreversible method.

 Many optimizations were made in the extractor code to reduce its size thus increasing the overall compression of the executable files.  This improvement in compression is most noticeable in small executable files.  This also allows programs with minimal code in them to be compressed.  Previously, the executable's code had to be at least as large as the extractors loader stub.

 Changes in the executable loader were made to handle executable files which call exported functions before the executable loader is initialized.

 A -j (jam/force) option was added to both versions of NeoLite to allow the user to force the executable file to be compressed, even if the executable file size increases.

 Added Shell extensions for .EXE and .DLL files.
