Discussion

DIET v1.00's documentation says that DIET "is an outgrowth of LEXEM," and that its "method of compression is similar to Lexem093.exe with @ switch."

Software

Decompression:

  • XOE33C.ZIP → X-OPEN (XO.EXE) - Claims to decompress LEXEM-compressed files

It's possible that other multi-format decompressors would work; see Executable compression#Decompression software.

Other:

  • CHK4COMP - Identification utility
  • DirX - Identification utility
