Hello Charles

Which compiler program is better to use   gxO2.exe  or  cO2.exe  ?

will you deprecate gxO2.exe  anytime ?



Charles Pegge

Hi Chris,

co2.exe is preferable as it's native o2. But I'm getting a false positive from Macafee and 3 other obscure antiviruses on virustotal.

Chris Chancellor

Thanxx a lot Charles

i don't get any AV warning because all my new compile programs now incorporate a manifest and identification resource
so that AV won't flag it as positive

an example of the rc file is as below


LANGUAGE 0,0


400    ICON  DISCARDABLE    "zRedSq.ico"
5200  ICON DISCARDABLE     "zinfo.ico"
5202  ICON DISCARDABLE    "zQuestion.ico"
5203  ICON DISCARDABLE    "zError.ico"

2003  BITMAP DISCARDABLE    "zgreen_Tick.bmp"
2010  BITMAP DISCARDABLE    "zrainbowbar.bmp"
