Sorry,

Pretty lame question, if big 'uns think so, but:

wtf are THUNKS? I keep reading them specially in any IAT rebuilder tuts. I also keep seeing them in some dumpers. And they don't explain that in any tuts or dump help files.

Checked my MSDN docs and found...ummmwell really nothing. A simple concise explanation, anyone?

As ever,

Thunking, in M$ literature, is the way to intermix 16-bit code with 32-bit code. The major focus is on calling 32-bit DLL functions from old-type 16-bit programs.
