Hi again,
I hope Mike can answer this Q.
PE and DLL(s) are Microsoft components right?
Isn't it illegal to use them then?
According to this: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/pl ... ecoff.mspx
Does Microsoft have PATENT on the PE and DLL(s)?
Any idea?
Thanks!

Hello,
It is legal to use PEs (and thus DLLs) although I do encourage eventually moving to your own customized format later on. You arent using Microsoft components but rather just a specification to write your own components.

How sure are you? I thought that the DOS PE HEADER where Microsoft things?Mike wrote:Hello,
