How do I check the EXEPACK option? EXEHDR comes back with the following :

=== START ===
Library:                        gcc446
Description:                    GNU GCC Runtime Version 4.4.6

Module type:                    Dynamic link library
                                Per-process initialization
                                Global termination
                                NO internal fixups in executable image
Number of memory pages:         00000009 (9)
Initial CS:EIP:                 object 1 offset 00000000
Initial SS:ESP:                 object 0 offset 00000000
Automatic data object:          2

0001 00010000 00007c60 00000001 00000008 EXECUTABLE, READABLE, 32-bit
0002 00020000 00000a80 00000009 00000001 READABLE, WRITEABLE, 32-bit
=== STOP ===

Both DLLs show 92 entries and the EXEHDR listing is identical for both...but 
that's also the extent of the tools I know of...lol...

Yeah, it was a very weird situation...no matter what I tried doing with the 
UniMix mixer to increase the volume, which is already at about 90% as-is, made 
no difference. All I can say is that reverting back to the 'old' DLL cured the 
problem.
