but iirc tscale simply moves the .dll base around in memory - it doesn't
make a modification to that .dll
maybe we should just right a registry saver a la proflwiz.exe... how hard
can it be? actually, I started one a few moons ago and ran into some
difficulties... Im vague as to the exact details, but it involved a problem
with QWORDS if I remember rightly, and that the language I was using to
extract the QWORD didn't support a QWORD datatype... and I was way too lazy
to define the data structure and immediately gave up! -
:D
Although I had the same thought myself...

on a serious note...laaaaaaaaaaaaa...
well, it may be illegal since one is breaking the licence agreement in terms
of useage. however, this is part of life and Microsoft clearly recognise
this. I suspect they would simply not support you.
also, if modifying the binary is illegal then isn't what Tscale is doing
when rebasing and saving out DLL's therefore illegal? loads of 3rd party
products change base OS code in memory.. so whats the difference between
modifying code image whether be on file or on chip?

though, thinking about it... I reckon there is a mini-market place to write
a flexops like tool.

The flex profile kit utilises code from the Office Resource kit - which is
modified using a hex editor - all fine and dandy open and above board and
its mentioned in the doco.
Theres been an interesting debate today in the office as to whether that
makes the deployment of the tool legal - as the kit ultimately relies on a
modified binary.
Anyone know/have thoughts on this?
Tia.
