Hi Listers,
Many years ago I experimented with a project that read information from the
header of a DOS .exe file. I had a resource book that told me at what offset
the various items of information were stored. It also pointed out that the
layout of the header of a .exe file for Windows was quite different, but did
not go into detail.
Now I would like to go into the file header again, this time for Windows
executables. I have been looking at a file mapping API, but couldn't really
figure what it was all about, or even whether it was what I really wanted.
Could anyone offer information on this, or point me to some good, accessible
information?
As always, any ideas will be gratefully received.
All the Best.
Ian
