Well....you're talking about a compiler. This kind of programming takes extensive knowledge of assembly, advanced heuristics, string parsing, executable file header information for compatability with the platform that the executable will be running on etc....Unless you have been programming (in both assembly and a higher level language like C++) for a very long time, I would not suggest taking on such a project. The information is out their but certain mistakes could cause unforseen and undesirable damage to your system (hard drive data etc).

i took a compiler class...despite 7 or so years programming in C++ (i got first place in a competition hosted by Rockwell too) and two years of assembly, i found it hard.


Describe what you're trying to do...I'll see if it's feasible by some other means.
