erpdude8 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 (edited) MDGx, I have some questions about the "MORESTAK: Windows 9x/ME 16-bit Programs Stack Memory Patch" listed on your page. How do you use it? Do I have to run MORESTAK.EXE in native DOS or while Win98/ME is running. Do I have to specify which 16bit EXE files (like WINFILE.EXE and PROGMAN.EXE) that needed to be patched by MORESTAK.EXE.? Documentation on using MORESTAK.EXE is still unclear and the utility is not in english. How do I really know MORESTAK.EXE did its job?

Documentation on using MORESTAK.EXE is still unclear and the utility is not in english. How do I really know MORESTAK.EXE did its job?All you need is to run MORESTAK.EXE followed by the 16-bit file you want to patch [it's a patcher, not a memory resident (TSR)].Example:MORESTAK WINFILE.EXEPatched files must be placed in the same directory where the original resides, overwriting the original.You should keep a backup of the original file in a safe location.MORESTAK must be run only from a DOS box/window, not from true/native MS-DOS.About testing patched files:I have no idea how to test them, because just like you said, documentation is sketchy + unclear.Maybe an email to the author would bring some light into this subject?Maybe he can write a small testing tool if you ask him?His (updated) web site is here [please note that morestak is only in German]:http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~omat/hs_fr...re/morestak.htmThe patch is here:http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~omat/viewz...ip/MORESTAK.EXEPascal source here:http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~omat/viewz...RC/MORESTAK.PASSource text here:http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~omat/viewz...AK.PAS?auto=PASThis is the guy who developed original DOSLFN:http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~omat/hs_freeware/freew.htmlImproved DOSLFN [based on original above]:http://www.geocities.com/jadoxa/doslfn/BTW:I have updated MORESTAK.ZIP [6 KB]:http://www.mdgx.com/files/MORESTAK.ZIPto include usage guidelines + examples [MORESTAK.TXT].HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Documentation on usingMORESTAK.EXE is still unclear and the utility is not in english. How do Ireally know MORESTAK.EXE did its job?A: I would seriously question the benefits of this program in mostinstances. The author of MORESTAK probably was experiencing the bug inKRNL386.EXE, which has been fixed in 4.10.1999. If too small a stack werean issue with many 16-bit programs, U891711 and U918547 (as examples)would be crashing "frequently" and I would have given them a stack largerthan the 8192 bytes M$soft set it to.HTH Edited September 6, 2006 by MDGx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it is necessary to "RegSrv" the MSREPL40.DLL file.original XP KB910906 hotfix does NOT "DllregisterServer" the DLL files. remove the RegisterOCXs=RG and [RG] sections from the Q910906.inf file and revise unofficial 910906 patch for Win9x/ME/2000/NT4.PROBLEMCHYLD, can you be more specific on Q918547 not registering? do you mean the Q918547 files do not show up on QFECheck or that the Q918547 files are not registered by REGSVR32.EXE?
