+ <h3 class=todo>Compressed or Modified Executables</h3>
+ <p>Many applications are compressed with EXE packers or use other tricks to
+ thwart those who would try to look inside them. These applications typically
+ crash or refuse to run if they think a debugger is being used. The tests
+ used generally involve taking advantage of some undocumented quirks in the API.
+ It turns out that many of these tests fail with Wine. This is often because
+ Wine does not implement a feature the exact way the application expects. There
+ is some sample code available
+ <a href="http://www.woodmann.com/crackz/Tutorials/Protect.htm">here</a> and
+ additional information <a href="http://protools.anticrack.de/">here</a>.
+ Getting this kind of code to run and give the correct results could help with
+ other stubborn applications that depend on the same feaures.
