To All,
Here is the next revision called "peclean.exe".
It will correct the relocation section termination and it will
zero fill the unused portions of the DLL or EXE file. This eliminates
the problem of having possibly sensitive information within your
distributed code. It will only display a message on failure or if it
finds and fixes a bad .reloc section.
NOTE: I use this daily without difficulty, your mileage may vary. Also,
I have noticed that strip'd DLL's do not always work with other
applications (The DLL flag is cleared and other problems that I
have yet to track down).
Enjoy,
Bill
