Why would it be a virus?
Terrible scanners just replace actual proper functionality with that "if it's not signed, it must be bad, durrhurr" crap.

[telamon]

Probably, it would be flagged as a virus because it's editing the runtime data and memory of DF. It's easy to mistake that for messing with a program's execution in a malicious way. If anyone plays starcraft mods, it's the same thing.
In any case, relax. Runesmith has a community behind it, and people are always the best defense. A thread doesn't get to 68 pages when it's about a virus-infested utility, unless all 68 pages are of enraged DF players. (which they definitely are not because runesmith is awesome)

my antivirus flaged a .bat file with content: "program.exe >log.txt" as trying to steal my id. Although I marked it as exception it still did not allow to rename or delete it (kept it open). I guess antivirus soft just gets more paranoid with time.

Norton Antivirus constantly tears my utilities to shreds.  They're all flagged as "High Risk" since they edit memory.  And I know at least 4 of you people out there have run Overseer and had the same thing happen.  Norton tells me so.

Well, it treats you like an idiot if it won't let you whitelist things.

[Jeoshua]

Oh it lets you whitelist it.... after you grab it back out of the quarantine folder once it's already been deleted.

So really it just makes me want to kill someone, instead of making me redownload and uninstall Norton.

Delete Norton and let's get back to important Runesmith talk that's actually important.

[Jeoshua]

Yes.  Thank you for all these nifty Dwarfy Tools.  I shall put them to good use.

[arzzult]

Yes.  Thank you for all these nifty Dwarfy Tools.  I shall put them to good ethically questionable use.

Fix'd that for ya.
Any way, many spanks for such a wonderful set of tools to (ab)use.

[MaximumZero]

What, it's not ethically questionable. I already changed those ethics in the raw files. We're not cheating, we're using a resource to make the game more fun.

[OmnipotentGrue]

Once again, thanks for letting us use this great tool, sizeak, and thanks for all the work you put into it.

[Jeoshua]

How this for "ethically questionable":

I spent about 2 hours using a 14-embark edit of the game, starting a new embark.  I jotted down everyone's personalities, attributes, and a few likes.  I found out who would be good for leadership, who sucks, and who is going to be my miner.  It was all very thorough.  I finally get to number 14.  I'm proud of myself.

Then the unthinkable happens... I hit 'e' prematurely.  None of my dwarves have skills.

I feel like I've almost gotten to know these dwarves! And after using dfreveal I found that this site is absolutely FILTHY with hematite, magnitite, cobaltite, truesilver (I'm using a mod for this), and various other rare and/or valuable ores.

Would it be too much to ask for Runesmith to actually allow me to SET my dorf's skills?

[Jay]

Nope, it would not, because it can already do that.
Click on the level rating for that skill in that dwarf's list and it'll allow you to edit the levels by number.
Keep in mind, though, that the dwarf has to have finished at least one job in that skill before it shows up in the list.
Unlike Dwarf Companion (that poor poor dead tool) this cannot give your dwarfs new skills.

Use Therapist (or the ingame interface if you're a masochist) to give them the labor, have them complete one job, then edit them up to where you meant them to be.
