HDLD32 stub for standalone binaries

Post reply

hdld32.bin allows to create stand-alone binaries with HX (as long as no external dlls are used of course). It includes HX's DPMI host HDPMI32 and the PE loader DPMILD32.

http://www.japheth.de/Download/hdld32.zip

Currently it's a bit experimental yet.

It should only be used if one creates a new binary, it's not supposed to be used with PATCHPE to modify Win32 binaries (not tested and might not work at all).

Of course not, this CPUID thing is not a serious application. Anyway, the HX utf-16 support is restricted to console apps.

- bugfix: Win32 function GetFileInformationByHandle didn't initialize the filetimes fields. Caused HT 2.0.8 to report a GPF on some occasions.
