Re: Network Issue

my opinion....is do not use exospace..
use blinker.......thats my opinion
I just did a test with blinker 7.0
i created a test protected mode exe
started on my windows network (domain)
on a windows 98 machine
and on a windows 2000 machine
then created a new updated exe
copied it over the exe running on the network
and one machine was running the new exe the others
still the old exe

so blinker in this test does not lock the executable
it is completly loaded intoo memory(real or virtual) by windows

make ur executables protected mode
....
Not Real Mode
Real mode is mix between protected and overlaid (internal/external) overlays
