Are there any executable compressors that work with 64 bit binaries?

Hello everyone :)

I'm looking for a tool like Bitsum Technologies' excellent PECompact tool for compressing Windows executables, but which works with 64 bit binaries. Does such a tool exist?

Note: I don't care about the supposed obfuscation such a compressor provides; I'd simply like to reduce the size of my binaries.

+3 A:

Yes; I believe that MPRESS will do the job just fine. And it works with .NET executables to boot!

Does it operate by extracting the executable to a temporary directory or is the entire process in-memory as it is with UPX or PECompact?

It is in-place like UPX -- at least, as far as I can see. I compressed my local notepad.exe and ran it, went to task manager > processes > right-click on notepad.exe, properties, and it showed up as the original compressed executable, not a temporary file or stub.
