I'll describe what I want to do:

I have a windows NT application installation package, but no NT to run it under. I can install it on NT (at work), but I then need to copy the files to my win95 junkpile to work on them.

Somewhere in the .dll's (I assume) there is a function I want to reverse.

So, the question is: what set of tools or what tool should I acquire to do this job.

(last time I did cracks it was 486/borland debugger days, and I've never tried to reverse a dll )

Any help will be appreciated.

The good old w32dasm and ida 4.xx should come in handy. Both should be easy to find. Look for w32dasm 8.9, and ida 4.04 which is free for download (unless you wanna spend some on 4.15).

thanks.... I'm on my way.
