This should work on all Puppy's I hope as it only consists of two executables that end up in:
/usr/bin/
General info:
Overview:
UPX - The Ultimate Packer for Executables
Homepage:
http://upx.sourceforge.net/
UPX achieves an excellent compression ratio and offers very fast decompression. Your executables suffer no memory overhead or other drawbacks for most of the formats supported, because of in-place decompression. UPX strengths in a nutshell:
■excellent compression ratio: typically compresses better than WinZip/zip/gzip, use UPX to decrease the size of your distribution!
■very fast decompression: ~10 MB/sec on an ancient Pentium 133, ~200 MB/sec on an Athlon XP 2000+.
■no memory overhead for your compressed executables because of in-place decompression.
■safe: you can list, test and unpack your executables. Also, a checksum of both the compressed and uncompressed file is maintained internally.
■universal: UPX can pack a number of executable formats.
■portable: UPX is written in portable endian-neutral C++.
■extendable: because of the class layout it's very easy to add new executable formats or new compression algorithms.
■free: UPX is distributed with full source code under the GNU General Public License v2+, with special exceptions granting the free usage for commercial programs as stated in the UPX License Agreement.

Hi musher0
This is the latest release on their website, I do not know if this is a maintenance release as it is not labelled as such, so I hope that it's a stable release.
For testing purposes, I guess you could just test it using terminal just by using:
upx -t yourfile
there's more info available here on this page:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/upx

Hi, chrome.
I think it's a stable release. It does everything the previous version did.
I extracted the executable from your package and replaced my older version of UPX with yours. Works fine. (Actually I prefer working with UPX from console.)
Again, thanks. BFN.
