    LOL!

    Just change the extension of the filename. Yeh, that should work.
    OS: Windows XP
    Compilers: MinGW (Code::Blocks), BCB 5

    unless the text file has some sort of code in it, i dont know what you expect to accomplish by turning it into an exe...
    I came up with a cool phrase to put down here, but i forgot it...

    Oh man. I thought you winding us up!

    In that case try (seriously) changing the extension to something that it allowed.

    Um changing it! No because they have blocked the viewing of any extensions, heard of peekabooty, its a program which I changed the extension to txt so I could view other things at skool but they stopped people changing file extensions and accesing the tool options menu. It works on some computers but I am too lazy to really check each one, a program would be quicker.

    Try this out. Just drop as many files into as needed gives em all a .txt extension, otherwise if someone clicks on it, they get a dummy "version checker" program ( thanx Sang~Drax ).

    BTW: I had to change the file extention to upload it here Funny.
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }
