Zitat von Hansa:

Because of that, I think you are "on the Holzweg"

You cannot translate it, can you? What's the right metaphor?

to bark up the wrong tree

natürlich kann ich das übersetzen : Wood-Way, or better Wood-Path. But an english speaking human beeing can't understand this english/german sentence. It is too difficult , because it's from me (in this context). Also I can't tell You, who has invented this saying. 8)

I think its about 1000 years old, e.g. older than Mathias Simmack.

I look in "Who wants to be a millionaire" and here is the result
00029250h: 42 6F 47 5F 20 2A 39 30 2E 30 26 21 21 20 20 59 ; BoG_ *90.0&!! Y
00029260h: 79 3E 00 00 01 00 00 00 32 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 ; y>......2.......
00029270h: 01 00 00 0032 00 00 0014 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ; ....2...........

This means its version 1.50.020, each number is a DWORD value.
The version number is stored 32 Bytes below BoG.

Something like this:

Delphi-Quellcode:

type
  TSafeDiscVer = packed record
    Major : DWORD;
    Minor : DWORD;
    Build : DWORD;
  end;
var
  ASafeDiscVer : TSafeDiscVer;
  fs : TFileStream;
  ThePos : integer;
begin
  ThePos := FindInFile('D:\game.exe', 'BoG_', true);
  //...
  fs.Seek(ThePos + 32, soFromBeginning);
  fs.ReadBuffer(ASafeDiscVer, SizeOf(TSafeDiscVer));
  Edit1.Text := 'SafeDisc Version '
              + IntToStr(ASafeDiscVer.Major) + '.'
              + IntToStr(ASafeDiscVer.Minor) + '.'
              + IntToStr(ASafeDiscVer.Build);
