editing text resource and nt problems

[AbbasAkhtar]

i know how to create, resources in delphi, etc. but i have a problem, i want to be able to edit the text resource file inside my own exe, even if it means running an external app to open my exe and modifyin the text resource, is there any way in delphi i can create a program which can load the text resource in my delpi app and edit the text resource.

any help appreciatred at all

and 1 more thing, in delphi, how can i make it my program will detect if its eitrher win 32 (98 95 me) or win32nt (xp,2k,nt) and be able to hide itself. cause my program crashes and i can't hide the process in nt 2k or xp, but it works fine in 9x/me. is there anyway to do this.

also in delphi, at the top, whweere u declare any .dlls u want to add to be used in the app, is there any way i can add e.g. function "wotever" bla bla for the .dll inside the TForm1Create event, so instead of puttin it at the top of the source file, can i declare the .dll on formcreate or when a button is clicked,

any help appreciated. thankyou.

Regarding your text resources, I'm not sure exactly where they go in the EXE but if the location is not at the end of the EXE file then I doubt that you can just go in modify them.

Modifying them externally may require you to change offset values in the load tables at the start of the EXE.
