I don't agree. loadfix works around the exepack bugs by preventing the load to some specific memory regions, AFAIK. It doesn't *cure* the problem, because the real problem is an exepack's bugs and not the default DOS loader. The only real fix is to get rid of exepack entirely, which is to unpack an executable. Actually I am unpacking all of the executables I have here to avoid such a problems, but so far the only problematic packers were exepack and an old UPX.
