Which version? The PC cross-platform version or the original C64 program version? |

They perform exactly the same..
still, lately I prefer my own packers bcoz of their depack speed. I used both of them for Trans*form, my favorite being Anim8 and Anim8DB (double buffer version).
Still working on a triple-buffer version, hope I can get it done soon :)
(btw, I also packed a lot of frames with ByteBoozer ;D) |

Using Packers on the C64 is hardcore to the extreme. Waiting hours and hours (sometimes over a day) to pack a 64k file
Exomizer seems the way to go (and it compresses data very well) |

And hours, right. Guess we all remember trying to pack that 199 blocks file to fit it onto the last disk with only 195 blocks free. At the end of the day it turned out to be 201 blocks big and we cursed the crap packer for it. :D |

"Hours and hours" maybe in 1992, but since the release of Byte Boiler in 1994 you only had to wait a minute.
