You said compressor + compressed file ='s less then todays best compiler. Well the .exe tested on that site is only 3,870,784 Bytes. The top scoring compressor recieved a final size of 953785 Bytes. You want me to get that down to a size of 47,689 Bytes (47 Kb @ 95%).
No, 95% of 953785 Bytes is about 906 Kb.
So the size of your decompressor + compressed file should be less then 906 Kb.

I think you are OK, decompressor + compressed file are almost under 609 Kb!. But if you have a problem meeting the 95% I will increase it to 98%, so the combined size should be under 934709 bytes.
