- readkey option to wait on keypress
- Also Pentium PR200+ BugFix from: Andreas Bauer

((( Andreas Bauer <andi.tio@hit.handshake.de> )))
r2 - bugfix: %path% display / SAP searching first in actual directory

2 = display only ERRORs & WRITELN (the x-brain is under your control)
>>>> - XCRYPT 1.0 ! [TOOLS\XCRYPT.EXE] to crypt *.X-B file for monthreleases
! Don't open crypted files with a texteditor & save them, else they
can't be read with the X-Brain anymore... !
r2 - some buggies fixed! ...new entries ...news to read ...new DIRarea
- if <ESC> pressed during READKEY: the patch will stop...
- parameter: ON to enable copperbars
- new HDD detection (...if CDROM stop searching HDD / else if no CDROM
do old createfile methode...)
VIRUS ?! - McAFEE detectes a VIRUS in X-BRAIN.EXE, don't worry it ISN'T a VIRUS!
this virusscanner didn't understand the cryption... It's the same
like the laxity releases, they are also NOT infected!
v2.3 r1 - press F9 in X-BrainMainMenu and the file: " C:\TITLES.TXT " with
all actual EntryTitles will be created.

- Errorchecking reinforced (filehandling)
- FiNAL! I think my DOSwork is done... I don't will stop the work

r3 - PATCH.SEARCH bug fixed... & entry bugs
- SAP returns errorlevel
v2.4 r1 - (dec # value) bug fixed
- extract EntryNote to file by pressing F2

--- I think in this program "FiNAL" stands for:
" Forget it, Never A Lastversion "...soRRy... (bAd eNgLisH)
SAP v1.4 News: (The lite X-Brain create in X-BRAIN with ENTER, F1)
- SAP apply check (param: OFF / NO disable)

v1.5 - SAP parameter "NOTHING" -- NO ApplyCheck & NO HeaderDisplay
- if READKEY: used & [F1] or [V] pressed display note if entered
v1.6 - commando "SAPINI:" only used in SAP!
"SAPINI: 1" no ApplyCheck
"SAPINI: 2" no ApplyCheck & no HeaderDisplay
Tools: FCOMP.EXE v1.2 is a old filecomparer I have programmed long time ago,
------ for this release it's a good helper to create X-BrainEntry's easily!!!
Writes automatic FileName & Size, PatchData, (Crackername & Title)...
in CrackPos.TXT !
Usage: FCOMP ORIGINALFILE PATCHEDFILE
Well I don't know why it runs best in pure DOSMODE ? There is one
problem under Windoofs which I can't fix, H E L P ! But see yourself.
PROBLEM: sometime the filecomparer stopped short and seems to be
crashed, but he isn't --- JUST press/hold ALT and he goes on!!!
Phunni aehhh.... Taskmanagerbug?
I have included the Pascal Sourcecode so that you can tune it up...
(+ CUTSPACE.PAS & CREATEF.PAS all included in FCOMP.PAS)
CUTSPACE.EXE this util cutes SpaceChars from the end of a line
to spare bytes... only usefull for *.X-B
CREATEF.EXE v1.1 this util helps you to create dummyfiles with a
fillchar you want...
WHY?
----
I decided to write thiz prog, to help archiving Cracks-Patches very easy
for everyone, because I hate it to search hours to find a damm crackfile!
Big thanx to all the crackers, who made it possible to write X-BRAIN, because
I'am to stupid for cracking!!! OK, they don't know that I take their cracks,
but I hope they love this proggy anyway ! ;-)
I'm not able to present all the CrackerNames on this place,
because they are to many... And so you have to read the note to get more
informations about the 'cOOl guys' !!! Contact them?,... open CONTACT.X-B.
parameterswitches, enter: X-BRAIN ? to see proramswitches and releasenote !!!
Features: !!! IMPORTANT pay attention to ; and : !!!
---------

You don't need to enter the
SizeValue only if you want to

.NFO creates NFO file with Notetext FILENAME
in found PatchFileDirectory.
.COPY copy file SOURCE
%PATH% stores path to or SOURCE; NEWNANE
patchfile ex.(C:\GAMES\GAME\) or SOURCE; %PATH%NEWFILE
%path%option only works if before

.SEARCH searching entered string <STRING>

for the patch string; the ONLY <...> (...) [...] or
allowed brackets are {([< >])} {...} allowed!!!
also for .STR option
.CHK this is a SecurityCheck to get
the right Patchfile! The paramter
are the same as PATCH.STR
If the checkbytes not exist the

1 = NO ApplyCheck
2 = NO ApplyCheck & NO HeaderDisplay
(if you want anyway a ApplyCheck use READKEY:)
// commando defines the chars after the // pos. as TEXT (disregard)
Enough! ...
Better to sEe the following example to understand how X-BRAIN works.
/// DEMO PROG ///
TITLE: demo copy file and exec;dark grey uuhuu
CRACKER: HackMan // Crackerpseudonym
SAPINI: 1 // disable ApplyCheck
DISPLAY: 2 // hide the following part
FILE.SEARCH: GAME.EXE; #1000 // search GAME.EXE with filesize 1000
PATCH.CHK: FFh; {xXx} // check: if exist "xXx" on pos FFh go on...
PATCH.STR: #999; #32 // patch char on pos 999 to: " " char
DISPLAY: 0 // now display all (default display)
PATCH.SEARCH: <xXx> // search the 'xXx' in GAME.EXE
PATCH.STR: (ooOOoo) // if found then patch to: "ooOOoo"
FILE.SEARCH: GAME.EXE // search destination without filesizecheck
FILE.COPY: %PATH%GAME.EXE; %PATH%GAME.BAK
// creating a backup of game.exe, because no sizecheck
COLOR: 31 // set displaycolor to blue/white
WRITELN: backupfile: %PATH%GAME.BAK created!
COLOR: 14 // set displaycolor yellow
WRITELN:
WRITELN: ...press key to go on...
READKEY: // wait on keypress / if <ESC> stop patch / F1..
FILE.COPY: X.EXE // copy file .\X.EXE to [GAME.EXElocation]
FILE.COPY: X.EXE; %PATH%Y.EXE // copy file .\X.EXE to [GAME.EXElocation]\Y.EXE
FILE.EXEC: %PATH%Y.EXE %PATH% // execute Y.EXE in found Programdirectory!
// for ex.: ZIP packed .EXE ex.:(D:\Y.EXE D:\)
FILE.NFO: XyZ.NFO // create XyZ.NFO with note text
NOTE: Demo to show the options find, copy and exec !!!
[EOFN]
