It's from 1.7a. And it is a PE binary with HX of course - I usually don't touch the DOS4G stuff - and without DPMI host included (also of course). I bet it can be improved further without tricks, there are still some WLINK weaknesses which bloat the binary.

Please stop promoting this UPX thing! There were some reasons for packing executables in the far distant past, but these times are gone and won't come back. Nowadays it's just annoying - remember my "NASM benchmark" in the FASM forum!

MS-DOS forever!
