Superb 1kb!  K+

FYI, the safe version runs under Vista, but the 1Kb just crashes immediately.

@Jim:

Not sure about this - but does Vista support / accept com-files any longer ?

1. Thanks for the credit optimus (I'm sure lots of folks used the framework with no credit before so kudos)
2. Nice colours (not easy in 1k)
3. Nice shapes
4. Nice depth

Overall, its a triple plus. Very cool.   :goodpost:

->benny - Vista 32bit still has NTVDM so it can run some 16bit stuff, but some bits like int 10h for changing screen mode seem to have been removed...64bit Vista has had all that clutter removed, and about time.

Back to this though - how does a .com end up running a 32bit Windows program?  Some serious EXE hacking going on there!  For instance none of the Flashtro programs will work.

What packer are you using Optimus?

Jim: This packing technique is called CAB/COM dropping (http://gem.intro.hu/cab_dropping.htm)

Thanks for the link p01 - neat idea - FWIW the 4ks from Breakpoint that do that freak Vista out too.
