Hi. It's been a while. I personally would not recommend you to mess with the executable at all. In fact, don't hack it whatsoever. I'm sure there's something written somewhere about how you're not supposed to do that. That's in addition to the potential (if there) that you could fry your computer or cause the formation of a black hole 2cm above your CPU or something. In a nutshell, unless you know what you're doing and have done similar operations before, don't try it at home. I brought it up only because I was familiar with it and was meaning to remind people who were familiar with that approach to consider it if they had not already.

Merry belated Christmas and happy early New Year.
