Hello, It is normal that Strip(w) makes copies of my documents? Only an example: http://luis-digital.8m.com/FPC/stripw.gif Whenever use Stripw the content of the file (*.exe) changes. I even have a file that has part of my directories (FAT).

strip(w) uses seek() to expand the file for padding. Using that it only sets the upperlimit of the file and not changing the data that is stored at that positions before the new upperlimit.

You have to report this behaviour to the GNU bnutils maintainers
