Hi Brian

In my programs I use a separate function to give chars back when I feed in
numbers, to build up a string separatly, instead of using a string in whole
that will show up in an .exe . I do that for the program's name and my name
and so.

My function is only a few lines, and depending on how many words you have to
type out in numbers (or other caracters, or however else you encode them) ,
it's very fast and easy to do that.

But if someone would still want to change it, it's probably still easy enough
to figure out, but more difficult to change then just with a hexeditor.
