- Exe Browser Version 1.0
-
- Due to the large volume of people asking to know what the format of
- the Exe file is for windows 3.0, I have written this program to display
- what I BELIEVE are the proper values. I have spent several weeks picking
- apart the EXE file and I THINK that these values are correct. I have
- tried to verify these against many different programs. One thing you
- will find out through using this -- There are various formats produced due
- to the different versions of the Resource compiler and Linker that were used.
-
- I am continuing to update this. Due to the the fact that the Developers
- notes will not ship for a few more months it will take me a little bit
- longer to perfect this. It seems like several people would like to be able
- to examine the EXE file now; so I am releasing this a little early.
- I hope that this will helps you find what you need to know.
- if not perhaps a donation of $20.00 would help me send you the source code.
-
- Usage [-flag] Filename
-
- -h : Displays Detailed Header info and Resource Hex Dump
- -d# : Size of Bytes to Dump for Resources Defaults to 128 bytes
- -n# : Displays up to (#) items from the various tables Defaults to 16
- -r : Display a Hex Dump of The Resources only
- -t : Display the Types of Resources only -- No Hex Dump
-
- the program defaults to just displaying the New Exe Header and it will
- append both .EXE and .DLL to try and open the file.
-
- Note: Option -h will have no effect when used with -r or -t
-
- To display the Resources, up to 5 Names, and dump 256 Bytes
- of each resource unless the resources size is smaller for the
- file GDI.EXE you could use the following syntax.
-
- ExeBrsr -rn5d256 gdi -- no white space between options --
- or
- ExeBrsr -r -n5 -d256 gdi.exe

- Registration will entitle you to $10.00 off of the Resource Decompiler
- that I am working on. Tentatively the release date is 12/01/90,
- You will also be entitled to Version 2.00 of this program free.
-
- Version 2.00 which is already in the works will Dump the actual format
- of the resources, not just a hex Dump. So for an Icon Directory you
- would see the Width, Height, Ofset of the DIB, Size of the DIB etc.
