Hi,
After reading thru amois' essay on crypkey,
I did another exercise with swish, but the prob is that the unpacked file runs pretty well under win9x, but not under winnt/win2000
where do i get it wrong ?

I think your import(s) are wrong.Maybe you can try to rebuild import on win2k.Because if some entries are wrong or not resolved in win9x in win2k they are resolved without errors.

I tried CrypKey with ImportREC, it worked well under Win2K

I will try RV too
