Is it possible to tell a compiled QB64 exe from other exe's say for instance FB?

If so, then my follow up question is how?

Yes. Open the EXE in a text/hex editor and look for "qb64.org" - turns out that the way _connectionaddress$ works is by pinging our servers, so if a user ever adds such command to their program, that will happen. Since the tcp commands are not a separate library, they are included in any exe QB64 outputs.

"qb64.exe" is also in there, I am finding just before "qb64.org". BTW just need Notepad to find it.
