Hi,

Following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310287 I created a dump directory for a WM6 image. Inside the SYS directories are a number of subdirectories. Some of these subdirectories have familiar names (e.g. calendar.exe). Using calendar.exe as an example, there are 5 files: imageinfo.bin, imageinfo.txt, S000, S001, and S002. Here are my questions:

1. What are these 5 files?
2. What tool would I use to put the folder together to create a single executable?

Sorry for the noob questions but I can't find the answer on the forums!! :confused: :confused:

OK, after trying out all of the tools in one of the bundles, I found the answer to the second question:

2. Within someone's kitchen tools (I don't remember which one I downloaded) was a file called recmod.exe. Run it with the folder as a parameter and it will put the exe together.

I still don't have the answer as to what those 5 files are though. :o

My terms may be off base but I'll try to explain what these files are as I understand it (and hopefully not look stupid in the meantime as I'm also trying to explain it in layman's terms).

Many core files are constructed like this so that they are optimized in the Rom to make them run more efficiently on our devices.
