That's not the exact DOS Stub Header. But anyways, I wasn't very clear, sorry... It's not in the exact DOS Stub header itself, but within this header you'll find the locations of the various other headers and if you all skip them you'll come to the first entry point, etc. were the program will be mentionned which is used to compress the file (if it isn't encrypted or overwritten though).

Just look at the file with a hex editor (like you did) and notice everything in the first hundreds bytes of the file...

Search google "portable executable file format"

The hints given here in this thread are more then enough to (illegally) edit your DLL file*...


*I can see that it is a DLL file by the DOS MZ Header you posted...


PS: compressing/hexediting your own made programs isn't illegal, so technically no rules are broken. But you asked this for editing a file not of your own, which is illegal. ;)
