I am working on an executable file decompressor. I noticed that ms-dos 5.0
was compressed with exepack (it contains the message "packed file is corrupt")
Does anyone know what version it is compressed with? I compared it with 4.05
but that's not it.

Is anybody more informed on this subject and would like to share that
knowledge :)?
