    The search goes on...

    QuikEdit - is pklited and has runtime 200 problems, once you get past that
    it throws out of memory errors, despite having largest executable












































































































































































































































































    size of 497k available.

    You can see the IceEdit heritage in there too.. which ever way












































































































































































































































































    around it goes.

    DCTedit - Well this one is even worse.. again pklited and runtime 200s. Once












































































































































































































































































    extracted and patched it goes for heap overflow errors.

    So for the time being IceEdit is still it. Might have to revisit some of the also rans like OpenEdit...

    200s. Once extracted and patched it goes for heap overflow errors.

    Ahh.. sorry to hear that. A lot of software from that time was
    pklited and contained those RTE 200 issues that didn't exist at the
    time but showed up later on. Bummer.


    Was worth a shot. I have in mind a lot of pkliting was done not for security but to overcome a DOS exe binary limitation around maximum size. Not sure how accurate that is... something about size and memory requirements. So unpacking breaks the original savings, patching is hit and miss... re-pkliting doesn't seem to fix the original problems though.
