DANG... FF... CREATOR
While preparing a release of one of my D-Mods, I found that ffcreate.exe is an utter piece of crap.  Not only does it include itself into the dir.ff files, but it also has a tendancy to include the dir.ff file inside the dir.ff files, in an infinite loop creating an ever expanding file.



I know ff files are bad, which is why I'm using them in a very small amount (basically to hide secret graphics).  But I need to find a way to make it so ffcreate.exe doesn't make a dir.ff that contains the dir.ff.  I tried the ff maker from WinDinkedit v0.70, but it doesn't work.



Thanks.

Ironically, I found the source for ffcreate.exe (not Seth's version, but the version Seth based his off).  Perhaps all is not lost...
Seth is a lazy-a$$ :) W/o knowing any C++ I made a better ffcreate.exe... <sup>[NT]</sup>
