"dll files are just compressed files" <-- What?

Post by ArakisTheKitsune »

I am working for 3 years as a service man in one computer store. And of course many funny thing happen there. Yesterday in store come guy who worked before here, we know each other and we are ok. I was almost rolf when he said that "dll files are just compressed files, when you open dll file in notepad and save you will see that size is not same." I was trying to explain him but he still after a hour or so claim that he is right. :mrgreen:
The funny thing is that he know that I have about 5 years experience in programming but he still think that he is right. He probably thinks that HTML is programing language also XD

There was few more of his "smart words" but I am little tired now to remember all of them.
