This helpful freeware tool adds a simple GUI to manipulate UPX. GUI4UPX's very plain interface displays five buttons, a pull-down, and a check box to give you quick control over Ultimate Packer for Executables. You won't need the missing Help file, but you will need UPX installed on your system.
Any user with the gumption to use UPX is going to fly through GUI4UPX. It's an executable, so there's no need to install the utility. Start it, use the Browse button to find UPX.exe, and you're ready to go. If you place GUI4UPX in the same folder as UPX you won't even need that step. The compression ratio is set from a pull-down menu, but some testers complained that the pull-down failed to work. Everyone was able to enter the ratio by hand, though. Decompressing takes just a check in the Decompress box. Adding files is a mere matter of pressing the Add Files button to open the traditional browse files dialog. At that point, you can press a button to create a batch file or a different button to run UPX.
GUI4UPX includes a small window to display the current list of commands that will be sent to UPX. Anyone who uses UPX will find this freeware effective and easy to use.
