The enclosed .zip file contains both nonag.c and nonag.com, which (more or less)
implement Jeff's technique. To use nonag.com, you enter the command
nonag foo.exe
The file is modified in place, so be sure to have a backup copy. As you will
see from the source code, it tries to check fairly extensively that the
file is in fact a Windows new format executable, etc.
Note: This is (at best) hastily developed gunge code, and certainly not
a model of what good coding practice calls for. Furthermore, it has been
tested on a grand total of 4 applications. Your mileage may indeed vary.
That's why the source code is there. And, of course, remember that all it
does is eliminate the annoying messages -- it does not find or solve any
incompatibilities. Don't apply it to programs you are not confident about.
