THIS TOOL IS NOT SUPPORTED BY MICROSOFT CORPORATION. IT IS PROVIDED "AS IS"
BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT MAY BE USEFUL TO YOU. WE REGRET THAT MICROSOFT IS UNABLE
TO SUPPORT OR ASSIST YOU, SHOULD YOU HAVE PROBLEMS USING THIS TOOL.
Summary:
Beta2Fix modifies EXE and DLL files that were built for versions of Microsoft
Windows NT before Beta 2, so that they can run with the released versions of
Windows NT. This utility also modifies the command-line tools from Microsoft
Visual C++ for Windows, Version 1.0, so that they will run with the released
versions of Windows NT.
Files:
B2FIX.EXE - Self-extracting archive containing the following files:
BETA2FIX.EXE - Program to update files
BETA2.DLL - Support library required by files modified by BETA2FIX.EXE
BETA2FIX.TXT - This file
Usage:
To patch an executable file, enter BETA2FIX <filename> at the command prompt,
where <filename> is the name of the file to patch. Wildcards are allowed in
<filename>.
NOTE: BETA2FIX will alter only executable files created before Beta 2; other
files will not be touched.
After modification, the command-line tools from Microsoft Visual C++ for
Windows, Version 1.0 will work with Windows NT but not with Microsoft MS-DOS
or Microsoft Windows. To undo the modifications, type BETA2FIX /U <filename>.
To run a program that has been patched, you must have a copy of BETA2.DLL in
your path (the SYSTEM32 directory is recommended).
Other options:
/V gives detailed information during patching
/N suppresses the Microsoft banner
/T displays all messages but does not modify files
