I know, I was a little bit unclear in my answer.
The answer should have been directed to svensk.
I don't think the file you posted is 1.23RC4. PEID says so when I check it, but when I run/trace it using Olly, I can clearly see the patterns in code that you see in the new version. The file/version svensk was asking about is surely an old version of Aspack.
