hi all
maybe some of you already know that the guys of 4kb demos (not all) uses crinkler for compressing their demos
so is it possible to use it with delphi ? , i know crinkler work just like a linker (objects are needed), i don't know if delphi create objects while the compilation process .

Don't know about crinkler but UPX works with any exe file.

crinkler needs COFF object files as input but the Delphi can generate only OMF object files, but FreePascal can generate COFF object files. I'm using for my demoscene productions mostly my own exe packer BeRoEXEPacker and sometimes kkrunchy of my farbrausch-demogroup-comrade ryg.

BeRo : thanks for the clarification
unfortunately delphi is great but 4k competition is a specialty of Visual C++ or assembler

hmm, tested and working on Win XP / 7 x64. Try to:
1. unzip and execute dmini from folder
2. remove /UNSAFEIMPORT flag from compile.bat
3. shutdown all anti-virus tools
4. change demo code ^___^
