AFAIK Sixpack (available on the Zipcode v2.0 collection, FYI) by far 
doesn't catch all the weird protections out there. I tried archiving my 
originals with it, but upon writing them back surely over 50% didn't 
work anymore, and similar results were achieved with G64 files I 
generated from the sixpacked files.
MNIB (the official version) is said to catch 70% of all protections, and 
Pete's improved version is even better than that. Don't take my numbers 
as chiseled in stone, though, these are more or less just guesses, not 
based on real scientific counts.  ;-)
