EXW.EXE Dos Mode message...

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer 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
