- The enclosed .zip file contains both nonag.c and nonag.com, which (more or less)
- implement Jeff's technique. To use nonag.com, you enter the command
-
- nonag foo.exe
-
- The file is modified in place, so be sure to have a backup copy. As you will
- see from the source code, it tries to check fairly extensively that the
- file is in fact a Windows new format executable, etc.

- Note: This is (at best) hastily developed gunge code, and certainly not
- a model of what good coding practice calls for. Furthermore, it has been
- tested on a grand total of 4 applications. Your mileage may indeed vary.
- That's why the source code is there. And, of course, remember that all it
- does is eliminate the annoying messages -- it does not find or solve any
- incompatibilities. Don't apply it to programs you are not confident about.
