EXW.EXE Dos Mode message...

While enjoying some time off (when I should really be working on my Final Year Project ;) ), I've been fiddling with the PD version of Eu2.1. I rediscovered that in DOS Mode, EXW.EXE displays the: "This is a Windows NT windowed executable." ...message. Something I didn't come across even when I *had* NT. The major thing that's bothering me is that if someone was to distribute their "compiled" WinEu2.1 program, and a user ran it under Win9x DOS Mode, the message is very misleading. How about: "Programname: I only run in Windows." or: "Designed only for Windows." or: "DOS mode = Bad. Run me in Windows." or perhaps one of the standard DOS Mode messages... I was just wondering if it was possible (or even legal) for RDS to write a little program to make this message alterable. I guess I could write one myself, but that would probably class as reverse engineering to some bright-spark lawyer. :) Another 2 centiunits in the jar, Carl -- Carl R White -- cyrek- at -bigfoot.com -- http://www.bigfoot.com/~cyrek aka Cyrek -- No hyphens :) -- Bigfoot URL Alias
