    No more than browsing the GD board does.

    Where did you get that program from? (Or) How did you make it?

    Executing this program followed by a series of heavy strikes from a steel mallet has officially destroyed my computer... I hope you're happy.

    If only I knew assembly...
    A whole ton of "add [bx+si],al", perhaps an unrolled loop?
    It appears you are pushing something out of some port, wow, I give up

    Honestly who executes a program that they have no idea what it does. No offence but posting something like this seems really dumb to me.

    I exectuted it but nothing happened? The only thing I noticed was that command prompt recongnized the program value as "value.com" under DIR

    Of course not. I don't know what it does.

    I figure that a user who has been around as long as Cool August probably won't try posting a virus or spyware on a message board, plus, a group of C/C++ programmers is probably the wrong group to try to victimize.

    Even if it didn't, what are the chances of it running under Wine if nothing else does?

    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
