I suggest that any remaining people using Dial-a-fix v0.57.7 should migrate to the current v0.60 beta until I have a public build of v1.0. No one should really be using v0.57.7 any more. There are issues with v0.57.7 that have already been resolved (such as Access Violations in version.dll/the mscoree.dll hang) and they are listed on the wiki in the Known Issues section. Please be familiar with this.

I'm going to redesign the log pane again - it looks neat as it is, but it is not productive enough for my tastes, and it takes up a lot of space in the code. I'm going to be adding Unicode capabilities and translation capabilities as well, and those are going to add even more to the code.

After all is said and done, I expect Dial-a-fix v1.0 to be over 2 megabytes (!). Since Dial-a-fix contains no shared code, and the only other penalty (that I know of - unless I'm mistaken) for PE compression is a slower start up time, I'm going to continue to use UPX to pack Dial-a-fix's .exe. I expect this to cut the size down more than half.
