Modifying registers

[Fabian Cenedese]

Hi

Is there already a possibility to view/set the actual program counter in
winedbg? I couldn't find anything in the manual. And it's not possible to
work with EIP. This would be useful e.g. to jump over some unwanted code
or call a function a second time.
Generally, is there a way to modify registers? Must be obvious but I'm blind.

Thanks

bye    Fabi

set $eip = 0x42424242

Dito for the other registers.

Thanks, worked fine. Should this be added to the docs? Even knowing now
what to look for I couldn't find it. I guess this was taken from gdb's 
interface.
Are there other 'unofficial' :) features in winedbg?

I will add this as part of the Advanced Debuging Techniques section of 
the Developers Guide. (working on it.)
