I didn't notice much of a difference, but maybe I wasn't looking at the right programs. It seems like a risky thing to do just before an official release. It seems to me that patching executables is asking for trouble. > 2.) Will you be releasing an 'official' patch for version 2.2 of exw.exe? Probably not, but I've enclosed a program you can run with 2.2 or 2.3 if you want. See below. > 3.) If the answer to #2 is no, then do you have a problem with anybody > releasing a hacked version of pdexw.exe with the version set to 4.00? If that's all you change, then it's ok with me. -- set Windows GUI version include file.e include get.e constant new_version = {4,0,0} -- or {3, 0, 10} for 3.1 integer fn fn = open("exw.exe", "ub") if seek(fn, #C8) != 0 then puts(2, "1st seek failed\n") abort(1) end if puts(2, "Initially:\n") ? get_bytes(fn, 3) if seek(fn, #C8) != 0 then puts(2, "2nd seek failed\n") abort(1) end if puts(fn, new_version) puts(1, "Now:\n") ? new_version close(fn) Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software http://www.RapidEuphoria.com
