Offtopic DB Stuff:

I'm making a program in VB (which calls a DBP program at least!) that ends up needing a bunch of different files from a bunch of different folders. So I created this program that takes a source file and destination file and a updates it. I read the files DWORD by DWORD and they open just fine if they aren't .EXEs. Executables won't run though! Is this cuz EXEs have some 'special' attribute or something that cannot be copied?

why are fish not cuddly?

well they're kinda wet, and once you dry them out they get all tough and crunchy, so they're not real cuddly.

i'm looking at yooooou!
