Oh, I believe it. OS/2 doesn't allow a running .EXE to be written to so that when it has to reload part of an .EXE from disk in a low memory situation, it's sure to be the same as it was the first time it was loaded. However, I read recently that the reason you shouldn't try to write to a running .EXE isn't because it can't be written to, it's because the newly-modified part would never get saved to disk. Kind of misleading. I was misled. I'm enlightened now. ___ X KWQ/2 1.2g NR X If at first you don't succeed, put it out for beta test. --- Maximus/2 2.01wb* Origin: OS/2 Shareware BBS, Fairfax, VA: 703-385-4325 (1:109/347) SEEN-BY: 12/2442 54/54 620/243 624/50 632/348 640/820 690/660 711/409 410 413 SEEN-BY: 711/430 807 808 809 934 712/353 623 713/888 800/1 @PATH: 109/347 2 1 3615/50 229/2 12/2442 711/409 54/54 711/808 809 934 |
