    Why would I have? Canny be any better than any other compression scheme or perhaps I would have. Nowt wrang wi good old fashioned zip.

    If the unpackers you've tried on the file don't work it most likely means your file is corrupt/damaged/incomplete.

    A quick google tells me Armadillo is a packing (compression scheme). If the unpacker doesn't work on your file it either wasn't packed by Armadillo or it's corrupt.

    And am I **** gonny help ye nick another programmers work ya ****. <laugh>

    Ah right. So this Armadillo thingy protects PE format files (executables and dynamic link libraries).

    Ye'd need to get a binary editor and hack it around at machine level which would require and understanding of machine code, or, get a dissassembler and hack it around at assembly language level, which would require an understanding of assembly language.

    Not to mention an understanding of Windows PE file format.

    I would imagine you would have to modify the application entry point address to bypass whatever protection code Armadillo has injected into the executable. This is a guess though, am too lazy to go and find out what Armadillo actually does.

    An it disny matter if the programmer is a prick - am no stealing the bread out of any ****'s mooth.
