[TippeX]

significantly smaller is no indication of how 'clean' the crack is, some previous cracks used upx to make the exe smaller..

for me, using a demo exe as a 'crack' is pretty lame, and shows that the cracker(s) had little or no skill to do the crack cracking, or they could not be bothered doing the work and took the simple easy way to do the 'job'..
