Fun FF7 Text

[DLPB_]

I was just messing about wondering why when you save an exe file you've opened in notepad, it won't work anymore.  Turns out I wasn't thinking... it's just that it turns hex 00 into hex 20 (ansi space).  That's the only reason.

Anyway, as FF7.exe was open in notepad, I had a little look down the code and came across some fun text:

great special thanx to you, ARIKO       from your husband, HIDEJI

I wonder what else lies in here?  I'm gonna strip out 7f-FF (and others) and see what I find.

Looks like SAINT beat me to it.

It might turn 0Ah and/or 0Dh into 0D0Ah.

I have two files that are complete ASCII/FF7TEXT dumps of the entire exe. Not just the actual text, but every combination of text based on bytes. Nothing interesting jumps out, but I only glanced at them (they're long ).
