It sould be noted that this version is aPack compressed. Uncompressed version is around 17.1 kb.

There are several version of mm on GitHub. In the root of MIKROMAN directory there is a small version weighting 14.4 kb. The version in MIKROMAN\SOURCE is 17.5 kb.

Then there is a DOSMAN.COM which is 23.1 kb which is a minimized version of a bigger file manager called DOSMAN (there is a separate directory in the source). The big DOSMAN EXE is about 50 kb uncompressed. Although the full distribution with a bunch of helper programs and menus is much larger.

Well, for the most people, it's not that important if the EXE is compressed or not. But if you run them on 8086 or 80186, running uncompressed versions might sometimes save you a few seconds in the execution time.

Apack can be easily unpacked with IUP.
