creating trainers and software enhancement programs in blitz

With help from Soja I worked out the final code to get the list of running .exe's (like in a taskbar). I posted it in the code forum also (archives).

; Process32First% (snapshot, entry*)
; Process32Next% (snapshot, entry*)
; CloseHandle% (object)
