ABSTRACT
--------
This Visual Basic application, App.Title Spy (ATSPY.EXE)
peeks into a Visual Basic generated EXE and retrieves the
its application title string. This is the same string 
contained by App.Title.

IMPORTANT
---------
There is no documented method or API for retrieving the
App.Title given a Visual Basic generated executable,
therefore the method demonstrated in ATSPY.EXE is purely
based on research. In numerous cases tested, ATSPY.EXE
has never failed, so it can be considered sure and safe.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
-----------------
When an EXE is generated by Visual Basic, it invariably saves
the App.Title string (provided in Make EXE File dialog box)
in a user-defined resource (RCDATA) that has an id of 1.
The string is always null-terminated and can be found at
offset 0x13 (&H13 or 19 in base 10) from the beginning of
the resource data. The length of the string, which includes
the null-terminator, is also recorded at offset 0x0f (&HF 
or 15 in base 10) into the resource data.

Armed with these two key facts, ATSPY.EXE opens a given
EXE file in binary mode and reads several information
tables to locate the resource. Once located, ATSPY reads
in the data and uses the length from offset 0x0f and
extracts those many characters from offset 0x19.

However, beware that this may change in future versions
of Visual Basic. Moreover, ATSPY.EXE has only been tested
with EXEs generated by Visual Basic 3.0 Professional Edition
only.
