UPX X-Shell is the shell for UPX under Windows, absolutely free (the truth, meanwhile, without source codes). Very much facilitates job with console UPX. Realizes practically all UPX functions. The control over the console and messages from UPX. The interface is adjusted under any language. X-Shell is developed for Windows XP visual styles.

X-Shell was tested in Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT/ME/98.

I try to keep up occurrence of new versions of UPX, and accordingly make changes to UPX X-Shell.

If you were interested with this project, write to me the wishes and remarks. I shall try to correct and add all in the shortest time.

If you decide to translate X-Shell to other languages - send me please new ".lng" files, they will be uploaded on this page and added in future versions of X-Shell. In details this operation is described in ProgTranslation.*.htm file in program folder.
