QZ:  I highly recommend you visit the relevant Yahoo Groups on Excel and Excel VBA for recommendations.  The ExcelVBA group is probably the best for on-topic messages instead of spam and OT junk.  It's moderated by a couple of MVP's so the content is very good. You will get this problem in front of ...

The criteria for nomination is not clear (other than random nomination by members). For example, the The KMPlayer multmedia player; (for Windows; not the multimedia player in KDE) is not listed, although it is actually ahead of vlc in terms of features, user-friendliness, and activeness in developm...

Oh, you did say .mp3 files! I don't know if MP3 files are playable if appended back-to-back.  If they have specific information at the front of the file, that "header" may not be read correctly if it occurs in the middle of the combined output file. Someone with knowledge of the MP3 file f...

If I understand your question, you want to combine multiple files into a single file.  If so, first create the output file somewhere easy to locate (i.e. C:\OUTPUT.FIL) using the F7 key, then use the script wizard to generate the console command below for each file you want to include in the merged ...

<sigh> OK, OK!  I surrender!  Nikos, you are absolutely correct the byte order has to be accounted for, thus the use of the incrementing "state" variable.   Acutally I do agree it's very clever! Now I need to find a byte-sum utility I can batch to locate all my zero'd files so I can restor...

Answering myself: OK, I now see you are ADDING 101 to the first byte, then 102 to the next byte, etc.  For 16 bytes, the sum of those are 1736, or x000006C8h. Now I know how you get the answer, my question is WHY!? Is this some "best practices" algorithm for generating "checksum"...

I don't understand if the contents of a file is all x00h's, then how can the displayed checksum be other than 00000000? I created a simple file with 16 x00h's in it (I wish I knew how to upload a file or image <sigh>) and received the following checksum: Name Size Checksum zerotest.hex 16 B 000006C8...

I thought you did from the above posts and Fgagnon's results in April.  That all happened before I bought my Canon, so I wasn't testing the fixes then.  I'm only trying to read/copy the JPG's over. I'll use a CF to USB reader to get the RAW's or, apparently, use the Canon utility (fgagnon - thanks f...

Checksum Results Are Not As Expected

Nikos, Background: I have a group of files that I have carried over from several computers and hard drives.  I recently went to access one of the Excel files and received an "Invalid format" error.  When I accessed the file with Editor2, the file was all x00H's.  I discovered a group of my...

Can a carefully selected subset of the more useful topics be made "sticky" to keep them at the top of the list?  I'd heartly recommend putting the MENUHACK forum near the top of the list. http://forum.zabkat.com/viewtopic.php?t=3702&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highligh...

XP SP3

Has anyone installed the SP3 upgrade to XP Home or Pro?  Looking for real-world results instead of professional reviewers. Alternatively, pointers to recommended reviews would be nice. I'm considering moving to Ubuntu Linux, but was also wondering if SP3 would help some problems I currently have (ma...
