Welcome to Puzzle3 - "The Seven Gates" by Cronos.
--------------------------------------------------

It is a program that runs under Win32 - WinME tested, should be ok under Win95/98. Not sure about NT/2000. It was written entirely in Borland C++. The executable is 4.5Kb.

There are two tasks:

1. Run the program and you will be presented with a dialog box with two edit boxes, an ok button and a cancel button. One of the boxes contains a code. Your task is to find out how to get the 'Well done, you opened the seven gates message'  when you press ok. You are not allowed to modify the executable file or patch the process in any way. 

2. Write a program which when given the code replies with the answer.

The first person to complete both tasks with a short essay and sourcecode for task2 will appear as the solver on the puzzle page.
