Gets the following information from any file:


CompanyName

FileDescription

LegalCopyright

ProductName

FileVersion

ProductVersion

InternalName

OriginalFilename


Basically it's the same information you glean from a file's properties. Uses no API whatsoever.


UPDATE 10/26/00

-------------------

Fixes the problem of reading smaller files that don't have the StringFileInfo section padded with null characters.


UPDATE 10/30/00

-------------------

OK, now it's perfect. Before it wouldn't find certain characters because some files are ignorant and in turn screwed up the return value but now it's all fine. Use it.
