Note that I still do not know how to get the machine code from the exe file even if it is an exe file of a program that I write and saying that the exe is the machine code does not help(I do not try to crack other programs and I was only curious to see the machine code of Movei). I can open exe file by notepead if I rename the file not to have .exe but I doubt if the chars that I see inside what I get(when part of them are not recognized by me) are machine code. I do not know machine code so I do not know. Maybe it is better not to talk about it too much in order not to help more crackers. Uri
