Thanks for suggestion. I posted a thread on the topic at mpxplay's forum at soundforge:
https://sourceforge.net/p/mpxplay/discussion/219198

And, RayeR, the DOS32UNP won't help, as that's not the compressor. The compressor used is the SC.EXE program of the DOS/32 extender package. It is part of the DOS/32 extender. There is an SD.EXE program as well, a debugger, but it won't support the LC-compressed .EXEs that SC.EXE produces, only the uncompressed DOS/32A Linear Executables.

EDIT: mpxplay replied on his forum, and posted an uncompressed version of 1.67 for DOS.

He got UPX error "The stack is not in the last object" and so did I when attempted to compress with UPX v 4.02. It seems a phantom error of UPX, as other DOS compressors (SC.EXE of DOS/32 and 32LITE.EXE) do not produce this error and compress the MPXPLAY.EXE file perfectly well without problems. Alas, these compressors don't have --lzma mode and also poor compression and produce un-extractable files.
