 þ Introduction

   AUP is program created to open shrinkers, encryptors, stickers,
   protectors . The list is in the bottom of this document.
   
   AUP will create a file, that is almost similar in it's size to
   the original file (usually a maximum of 10-20K difference), regardless of
   unused areas of the EXE file, such as it's header.

 þ Usage

 !! Before run AUP remove any XMS,EMS managers (NO QEMM,NO EMM386, NO HIMEM)  !!
 !! and don't use disk caches like SpeedDrv or SmartDrv. If you won't respect !!
 !!               this, data on you HD may be coruppted.                      !!
   
   It take some time to unpack so by patient.
   
   There are two version aup and aup386. They are nearly the same, but
   aup made a backup file and you can select a destination file.

   There are no switches, no help at all, because this are not 
   finished version. (see Comments)
   
 þ Comments 

   This is very stupid code, not optimized and not properly tested.
   
   It was made one year ago and now I'm working on new version, so I 
   release this. If there will be any intrest ( send me comments, advices,
   money ) I promise that I will make a new version.
