Hi! August,

Hex editor?

Or... Is it a Windows .exe file?  Back in days long past, an older 'Write.exe'
from Windows 3.xx might be used.  Yes, this is wizard's stuff.

The trick is to change the text only, and for the same length of the string
(i.e. number of characters).  Followed by a simple "Save", only.  Nothing
fancy.  I recall doing it at least once, last decade.

Bon chance!

Cheers,
Paul.
