PRX compressor v0.1 for 3.5x M33

This Windows application can (re)compress 3.5x M33 prxes. The whole method is the work of bstronga. Thank you for it!

You need Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to run this program. Before you run it, you have to put a gzip.exe file (61 948 bytes) into 'required' folder. (You can get it from gzip.org. Direct link to gzip windows zip package: http://www.gzip.org/gzip124xN.zip) If you don't do it, the program will not start.

To create a compressed prx you have to select two files:
Header - You can select a original decompressed prx from 3.5x M33 and using it as the header.
Data -   You can select your modified decompressed prx/elf file here. This file will be compressed with gzip and appended the previously selected header.

'Compression level' option - You can select the gzip compression level. "1" is the fastest compression with the largest filesize and "9" is the maximum compression with the smallest filesize (even smaller than the original...)

'Force vshmain dunno part' option - When turned on, the program will automatically set 0x130-0x132 part in the header similar to original vshmain.prx. Some prxes are working only in this way.
