just did a test with cranker..

I took the old powerpacker 3.0a.. and crunch it with cranker no special settings.
cranker -f ram:9 -o pp3 where -f from and -o output.. filesize 37536

then i took powerpacker 3 and compressed itself.. 37604 bytes.
as a comparison.. then i tried running the files..
powerpacker packed file ran perfectly..
cranker packed told me it wasnt executable.

I unpacked the powerpacked powerpacker 3 and crunched using execruncher by blueberry
no fancy settings..
similiar to those of cranker.
execruncher2 from 9 to pp3 filesize 32500bytes and again runs perfectly..
^produced the smallest.
