WWPACK is an executable compression and file compression utility for DOS, developed by Piotr Warezak and Rafal Wierzbicki. It does executable compression of EXE files. It can also compress arbitrary data files.
Versions 3.03+ can also compress COM files, converting them to EXE.
Some of the files compressed by WWPACK can be decompressed by WWPACK, using the "U" or "UD" option.
Identification
EXE files compressed by WWPACK probably have ASCII "WWP" at offset 28.
Data files compressed by WWPACK begin with "WWP".
Software

Ed. note: The later versions of WWPACK will refuse to run unless the timestamp of the WWPACK.EXE file is exactly correct. For v3.04, it must be 1996-01-06 03:04:00am. For v3.04a, it must be 1996-01-21 03:04:00am.
