eXeScope description
eXeScope can analyze, without source files, executable files like EXE, DLL, etc. and display, extract, and rewrite

eXeScope is an utility that helps you customize an application.You can change the menu, the font, an arrangement of dialog.

eXeScope can analyze, display various information, and rewrite resources of executable files, that is, EXE, DLL, OCX, etc. without source files.

Analyze and display executable files (EXE,DLL,etc.)
- Display header information
- Display imported functions
eXeScope displays what functions in what DLLs an executable file imports.It is useful to find unused DLLs.
- Display various resources

Extract resources and save them to files
eXeScope can extract Icon, Cursor, Bitmap, WAVE, MIDI, AVI and Delphi form.Other resources can be extracted as binary or text data.

Edit resources
eXeScope can edit windows standard resource (Icon, Cursor, Bitmap, Dialog, Menu, Accelerator, String, MessageTable)and other resources (Delphi form, WAVE, MIDI, AVI, JPEG).

Before editing resources, you must backup the original file. There is a possibility that edited executable file does not work, or

work abnormally. Edited executable file should be tested carefully.
Author does not guarantee any disruption caused by edited executable file.

Confirmation of rewrite effect
In the case of Dialog resource, you can display the rewritten dialog form and confirm it.

Recording Log and Batch mode editing using Log
The record of editing resource can be logged to a log file. Using the log file, same editing can be re-played. This feature can be useful when you do the same editing for the new version of target file.

Create a .rc file
eXeScope can create a resource source file (.rc)file from an EXE file reversely.

Here are some key features of "eXeScope":

· Change font type face and size

· Rewrite icon, cursor, bitmap, AVI, WAVE, MIDI, JPEG, GIF, etc.
· Examine imported DLLs.
· Examine exported functions of DLL/ActiveX/OCX


Limitations:

· This software will edit the target original file directly. Before editing resources, please backup the original file.
· In the next case, editing which results file size increasing is impossible. Editing which increase size more than 256 KB.
In the test display of dialog box, there are next limitations:
· A control which is defined 'CONTROL' is displayed as a black frame.
· Any 'ICON' is displayed as an Windows LOGO Icon.
· In the test display of dialog box,when the dialog box cannot move or close because it covered over all eXeScope form,then move eXeScope form to forground by pressing Alt +ESC key,and press button.
· Batch mode editing using log file can be done for 32 bit PE format only.16 bit NE format cannot be edited by batch mode.
· If EXE file is compressed using EXE compressor like ASPack or UPX,then eXeScope cannot view or edit that file.
