[delphizip] Re: Is spanned SFX supported by any one?

the current delphi zip sfx is not compressed, it's just "stripped" and
compiled using a special (KOL) "runtime library" (system.dcu etc).
its size is about 40 KB. using upx, the size could be reduced to about 22
KB (but upx'd apps still have some problems with recent virus
scanners).

i don't completely understand how spanning works, so i cannot
implement it myself. but if someone has some suggestions how to do it
(and it also doesn't increase the sfx size too much), i could try to
add it to the sfx.
