No comments on using inline compression on the kix executable? I spent alot of effort comparing the different applications available for this and I would hope the contributors to this thread research UPX.

Make sure to view the corporate site for the developers of UPX, in order to establish credability. If you use Jabber or TurboIRC these have UPX from the source.
It may not be the best way to prove, but why do so many virus use UPX compression?

Richard H: "A: The batch interpreter, CMD.EXE"
cmd.exe on my system is 382k, which is bigger than the latest version of kix. However cmd.exe is included on every windows version used so no need to copy or run cmd from a remote location. CMD has an interactive shell too.

Hey, that could be interesting. A modification to the debug portion of the kix executable where instead of walking though a script you can type the commands on the fly
