    Let there be an executable file say, t1.exe. If I run t1.exe then it shall copy itself to a new executable file say t2.exe.

    Code:

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <conio.h>

    void main()
    {
    FILE *fp,*tp;
    unsigned long int t=0;
    tp=fopen("t2.exe","wb");
    //rewind(tp);
    if((fp=fopen("t1.exe","rb"))!=NULL)
    {
    fseek(fp,0L,2);
    unsigned long int pos=ftell(fp);
    rewind(fp);
    do{
    fputc(fgetc(fp),tp);
    t++;
    }while(t!=pos+1);
    }

    fcloseall();
    //system("t2.exe");
    printf("End of t1");
    getch();
    }

    t2.exe is created but when I run this it says "t2 has stopped working." I'm using Windows 7(Home Basic) 64bit. The program is compiled with Borland C++ V. 5.02.

    And amazingly t1.exe and t2.exe has exactly same file size(in bytes) but still t1.exe works but t2.exe doesn't......don't understand why...??!!

    Please reply fast!!! It's URGENT....!!!!
    Thnx!
