Hi!

I'm looking for a program to view and modify the cookie jar, in particular the _IDT cookie. Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Andres.

There should be quite some programs that can display the cookie jar (a CPX modules for example). But can't remember one that can change it. Does that make sense at all? Changes will be lost on the next reboot, anyway.

I use this.

Uh... But the cookie jar, besides being resident in memory, it is represented in a file, right?

No. Cookies like _CPU, _VDO, _AKP etc are set by the OS while booting, depending on detected hardware. The _IDT cookie is only set by mint and magic (or by some other tool), but not by TOS or EmuTOS. If you have some CPX that sets this cookie, it is set based on values that are stored in the CPX itself, but only for this specific cookie. There is no file that would represent all the value in the cookie jar.

Ah! Thank you very much for the clarification!
