Created an attachment (id=10515)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=10515)
patch which fixes shrinker 3.x issues, making it fully wine compatible  

Hello,

--- snip ---
Anyone fancy trying it out?
--- snip ---

How should I have known how to fix this? ;-)
Some time ago I downloaded that game in question, analyzed the problem, created
& tested the patch.
I usually delete everything afterwards because there is no use for me to keep
games/apps/patches around.

Unfortunately it seems to be somewhat difficult to get Shrinker 3.x protected
apps nowadays.
I redownloaded that app I mentioned in comment #10 "Astrosoft Vision 4"
(http://astrosoft.ch/vision.htm) but it seems they dropped Shrinker in favour
of ASProtect (another PE protector).
Good choice for them. Good riddance of Shrinker.

I replaced the old patch for a better "GIT-like" version.
You might try to send it but actually I don't care if it makes into GIT.
Technically there is no other solution but to resemble the expected entry point
signature for such brain damaged piece of software called Shrinker.

Regards
