This may be a strange request, but my Delphi app uses an old C++ DLL which I commissioned an outside developer to write for me some time ago. I've lost the source code and cannot get a hold of the developer to see if he has it stored.
The only issue with it, it is opening a file in read/write mode, although it is only ever reading the file. I need it to open the file in read-only mode. Anyone with a little hacking skills should be able to modify the CreateFile() integer parameter call stored in the binary DLL file. Is anyone up for doing that for me, perhaps for a $50 donation? I remember doing something similar like 30 years ago with MS-DOS utilities which had version checks inside to prevent them being run on later versions of DOS. I worked out the sequence of code for the INT 21H dos calls in a HEX editor. Cheers, Ross.
