OK, i have subscribed a mailing list. This mailing list send messages
Posted on a message Board to all subscribers. These Messages are
nearly unreadable formatted. So I create a Incoming Mail Filter for
these messages. The Filter export the message to a File and call a
Perl Script with the Filename of the exported message as a Parameter.
The Perl Script reformat the message and import it back in The Bat in
the desired Folder.
OK, lets see what the Bat do it you call it with a Command Line
Parameter while it is already Running. The Bat start and look for a
already running instance, if the instance is found, it Send the
Command line Parameter to the already running instance (This handle
the commands) and Quit (Correct me if i am wrong here).
And IMHO there is a big difference in loading only the Program Code,
doing something and Quiting, or Loading a the Whole Application (all
the resources (Graphics and Forms)) and Quiting.
IMHO if the Bat is uncompressed it run Faster and smarter as the the
compressed one.
And at the end, if _I_ want to save 2MB on my small 6,5 GB HDD, then
_I_ use a EXE compressor and Compress some EXE or not. But _I_ want to
decide this.
And if this a Crack Prevention, _I_ have paid for the Program and _I_
don't want pay the price for the crack prevention. There enough Bugs
to Fix and enough code to check to make The Bat really complete
readdy, why you (Rit Lab) spend so many Time in this stupid
Protection. There are allways Crack available, use your time to make
The Bat! better and the People pay for it.
Just my 0.02 cents.
cu,
Dirk
