Unauthorized Windows 95 Update -- FILL


FILL.C and FILL.EXE -- A Win32 program (revised: no longer a Console app) that tries to zero out some area of memory that you select on the command line. Works somewhat like the F command in DEBUG. The purpose of the program is to demonstrate the lack of memory protection in Windows 95. For example, running FILL 10000 FFFF crashes Windows 95. At the same time, some areas are protected: try running FILL 0 1000.
