Andi B.:
There are some bldlevel information when added to an .exe leads to strange things when the exe is loaded by OS/2. Although strictly correct regarding Stevens notes about bldlevel it's yet unknown why f.i. sometimes the menu is not loaded by OS/2. Or even worse some program refuses to start with some bldlevel information.

Summing up my experience with bldlevel infos I made with my projects, if the developer who extensively tests the program don't add a bldlevel info I wouldn't add it later. It may be dangerous and maybe more harm then help.

Thanks for the point of view and recommendation. It is a good warning and I will like to test what kind of program can provide problem to add the bldlevel information later. I will try some command line tools first and post back to see if we can get an issue.
