-
- 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
