Summary: Often applications wish to extract information from an executable file without the application being loaded. The Windows Program Manager does this when it extracts an icon from the .EXE to represent the application. There are many other resources and tables in an EXE file (or a DLL) that may be useful to certain applications. The EXEVIEW sample demonstrates how to extract and decode these resources and tables for executable or library files (FONTS and DRVs qualify as DLLs). More Information: The EXEVIEW sample uses the Old and New Header formats has documented in the Microsoft MS-DOS Encyclopedia. EXEVIEW loads these headers and the associated tables that are pointed at by these headers. The include the Entry Table, the Segment Table, the Resource Table, the Resident and Non-Resident name tables as well as the Imported Name tables. In addition to loading these tables, EXEVIEW will also load the resources that can be found in the resource table. If the resource can be displayed graphically (Icons, cursors, bitmaps, menus, etc...) then it is. For string tables and directories (Icon, cursor, font, etc...) the resources are listed in a text format. For more information on the file formats and resource formats see the MS-DOS Encyclopedia, The September 1991 Microsoft Systems Journal or the Microsoft Open Tools documentation.
