The version I'm using (which is not the latest) is freeware. You can get
it from any simtelnet mirror as msdos/execomp/diet145f.zip.,
If can be used both as a executable compressor (no need to stay in
memory) or as a generic file on the fly decompressor (tsr mode).
I think it is much better that diet, at least comparing the features, may
be it has more bugs or incompatibilities with the og, thought, I don't
know since I never tested dlite.
Ciao,
Davide.
