Just finished some code for another site I visit. It's just been hacked together very quickly, though perhaps somebody will get some use from it. With error checking on the 4 calls to CreateFile or WriteFile you'd have an okay function.

Shown below is the output from the code.

nice piece of code. could be usefull one day

I just read trough this because I'd like to learn ASM, and I must say that it's nice commented (not too much, but clear:))

Thanks!
