Migration plan away from TodayPlus

[Nielsracing]

Shouldn't we talk about this after expiring, at least a week before or so...?

I dont see why we cant talk about it now.  It definitly doesnt look like SRS is comming back  and if you want my opinion it is very irresponsible for someone to just abandon a project like that and keep all these testers hanging. We all did him a favor and it looks like it probably went to his head. I mean who just leaves like that becauase of a little critisism? If a couple of my users started complaining about something I did to my freeware (not that I would ever make mine expire) I would take their comments to heart.   .... I dont think we should write a replacement program. We have a perfectly good one right here.

BTW, after a couple of minutes of playing, I have narrowed the problem down to the TodayPlus.dll file. This is where it looks for the date and decides wether or not to load the plugin.  This is why the program still works when you open the TodayPlus.exe file no matter the date. I wish I knew more about Today Plugins, I might have fixed it already. I guess Ill have to learn first...

Ok you are right, srs seems to be inactive on this forum so we should consider a replacement

You might be right but decompiling the code shows nothing that looks like a date check in the dll. On the other hand there are two calls to the system time in the exe, one which I suspect is comparing the system time with a file time, maybe the date of the dll file. Of course my knowledge is limited and I might be completely wrong.   I played around a little out of curiosity but I don't feel right about hacking something that srs created. As I've stated in another thread, it seems to me it is his to let die if that's what he wants to do.

ya1950,

What did you use to decompile it?

ya1950,
If you have a decompiler,
do you have a freeware assembler?
If you have, I like both.
I have a thing with assembly.
I like to learn ARM assembly.
Can you make me happy with a PM.

From what I've tested, all betas expire from March to December of any year. They only work in January or February of any year.
