Hi, I am trying to extract the bin firmware file from an EXE file from a Bios update. I do not know where the EXE files ends on Winhex. Is there any windows applicartion that can do that.
Thanks.

Thanks for the file I also tried litefirm is something similar under DOS.
I assumed that exe2bin works under DOS like this:
exe2bin file.exe file.bin
but I get insuficient memory. (My laptop has 4 g. memory)
The config.sys under Windows>accesories only has only the line files=40
I tried to insert :
device=himem.sys
device=emm386.exe 4096 ram
dos=high,umb
I got read only file, from my recolecction in my old DOS days I tried different ways to change the attributes or save new file but it cannot write to that file.
Anyone knows how to change exe to bin? or a Win application or Linux.
Thanks.
