So my question is why is this things there i mean they can just use scripts with normal understandable language i hope someone explain me this because i'm curious, and thanks!

Because DLLs are compiled. You're looking at binary data (machine code instructions, plus various bits of data) with a text editor. While some programs are distributed as source code (bash scripts, JavaScript/HTML/CSS Windows Universal Apps, several others), many others (probably "most" on Windows) are distributed as compiled machine code.

I want to open multiple PDFs in a folder with the program "Drawboard PDF".
The PDFs are in subfolders, so just Ctrl+A and then Enter won't suffice.
Is there a way to do it?
I thought, perhaps it is doable via a batch file or some cmd commands, unfotunately I have little knowledge in these topics.
If you have an idea, please let me know. Thank you.
Nathan here from Drawboard. If Drawboard PDF is set as your default PDF application, you can select multiple PDFs in your file browser and then right-click: Open. They will all open in Drawboard PDF.

I have this file, and I have absolutely no idea what kind of file it is.
When I open it in Notepad++ it reads as

How can I figure out what language this is?
Looks like that http://patch.us.wizard101.com:12500/ returns some sort of patch file for a game client. Chances are there is some api calls you are missing that tell the server what file to generate and return. But since only game clients need to directly call that file I would delete it and chalk it up to a broken client.
Either that or the site's download handler is broken and is giving a garbage file.
There's no clear answer, because you can't really. You can do some research on the encoding, or see if you can piece it together depending on the file's origin.
This program will test against common file types to see if it can be opened with success: http://download.cnet.com/TrlD-File-Identifier-for-NET/3000-2248_4-10442461.html

I was wondering if there was anyway to effectively write out in a readable formate the file structure of a drive. So what I mean by this is if it can write out a result simmilar to...
C:/
File here
Another file here
Sub file here
Another file here
So sorta like that. I don't know what it is called but if there is something that does that then that would be great!! Even better if it was possable to do in batch (dosnt matter either way tho) Thanks :)
Open the command prompt in windows. Write:
tree
if you want options write tree /?

I have recently encountered an embedded system with IDE drives that are FAT32 but have >4gb files. It appears to do this by setting the file size in the 32byte directory entry to how many bytes the final cluster uses - instead of being the actual file size. This allows the the files to have arbitrary FAT chains. The downside is the only way to know the file sizes are to stream through the chains, which are enormous.
I have never seen this before. Is this a known standard or variation and does anything on windows or linux support it?
Are there any 'quirky' FAT32 modifications that are more standard that allow files greater than 4GB?
Probably exFAT
This I think is a complete hack.
I've implemented FAT32 and I've never seen or heard of anything like this. I will be very surprised if there is any support anywhere for this.
