ExeLITE, also named ELITE, is an executable compression utility for DOS. It was developed by Patryk E. Glowacz and Adam Augustyn / Code Blasters. It compresses EXE files (to EXE), and COM files (to COM or EXE).

It also has a "self extracting data" feature, which compresses a data file to raw machine code that can be incorporated into a DOS program.

Version 2 adds a feature to compress a data file to a non-executable file format.

Identification

EXE: A likely signature is ASCII "ELITE" at offset 26.

COM: More testing is needed, but compressed COM files are observed to end with bytes ff d1 d5 fe ce 75 06 8b 2c 46 46 b6 10 c3 fb 61 1f 07 9d 68 00 01 c3.

"self extracting data": (TODO)

Compressed data file format: Files apparently start with ASCII "ELITE2", followed by bytes 0x0a 0x0d.
