This program is released as FREEWARE. No fee of any kind is requested.
You may distribute this program freely provided no charge is exacted and
no alterations are made.

LZALT is a simple utility designed to alter files which have been compressed
with LZEXE versions 0.90 or 0.91 so that they can no longer be uncompressed
with UNLZEXE nor recognized as an LZEXE-compressed file by DIRX, CHK4COMP or
similar listers.

Using LZALT couldn't be easier. From the command line simply type:
LZALT PATH/FILENAME <ENTER>
where path is the directory in which FILENAME.EXE is located and FILENAME
is the name of the compressed file you want LZALT to alter. PATH may be omitted
if LZALT and FILENAME are in the same directory. 

Since all files compressed with LZEXE are EXE files, the EXE extension is 
assumed and may be omitted. No other extensions are permitted.

MESSAGES:

1) FILE NOT FOUND - The file name you specified was not located. LZALT will
                    terminate. Check the name and/or path and try again.

2) INVALID FILE NAME -
                    The file name you specified was not a legitimate EXE
                    file.

3) FILE HAS NOT BEEN COMPRESSED WITH LZEXE -
                    The file you specified was not compressed with LZEXE
                    versions 0.90 or 0.91. It may not be compressed with
                    LZEXE or it may be compressed with a later version 
                    (which, as of this writing, has not been released) or
                    it may have been previously altered with a utility
                    similar to LZALT or with LZALT itself.

4) PROGRAM SUCCESSFULLY ALTERED -
                    Your compressed program has been altered so that it
                    cannot be uncompressed with UNLZEXE. Further, DIRX,
                    CHK4COMP or similar utilities which list compressed
                    files and specify the program which compressed them,
                    will now identify your program as "uncompressed".

It should be noted that run-time file compression provides a measure of
security from virus infection and from individuals who would alter program
code if they could make sense out of it. LZALT increases file security by
preventing your files from being uncompressed, doctored, and then recompressed.

LZALT does not create a backup file. This should always be done, as a
precaution before any type of file alteration.
