██ WHAT CHLIB IS ∙
██ ·
██████▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░
ChLib is a library of game cheats. It contains a lot of tricks to make the
resolution of some games easier. To consult ChLib, just change into the ChLib
directory and type "CHLIB". Easy. Now you can choose your favourite game and
learn all the tricks for that game. Remember: winners don't use drugs, and
so real players don't use cheats!

██ LEGAL STUFF ∙

██████▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░
ChLib is a copyrighted cardware: it means that you can copy it to your friends
or uploading it on a BBS freely, as long as you don't modify the original
package. But if you want to use after the trial period (21 days) you have
to register it by sending a postcard of your city to the authors. After you
sent the postcard, you can consider your copy registered. There is no special
advantages for the registered users, but sending a postcard isn't very
expansive, is it? Moreover, you can spread the text taken from ChLib as long
as you don't delete the ChLib banner in the top of the text (it's written
when you output a text to a file).

██ HOW IS STRUCTURED ∙
██ ·
██████▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░
The file CHLIB.LBC is the centre of ChLib, because it cointains all the cheats.
So ChLib actually consists of CHLIB.LBC only. But to consult ChLib, you need
a browser. The official browser of ChLib is the one spreaded with ChLib, that
is the file CHLIB.EXE. It's very important that you understand how the next
versions of ChLib will be spreaded. In fact the data file (CHLIB.LBC) and the
browser (CHLIB.EXE) will be upgraded separately.
- Data file updates
To update the data file, we wrote a little program, called CHPATCH, that
will help you very much. Infact, the updates will consist of little files
that contain ONLY what has been modified since the last version. CHPATCH
will insert these changes into CHLIB.LBC. A new update will be released
each month. So all you have to do is download this little file and run
CHPATCH, instead of downloading a big 2Mb data file.
IMPORTANT: please pay attention to use the right patch. Each patch can be
applied only on the previous version of CHLIB.LBC. So, for example, the
April patch can be applied only on the March version of ChLib. The name
of the package file is CHD-XXY.ZIP (the extension may change), where XX is
the first two letters of the month (JA,FE,MR,AP,MY,JU,JL,AU,SE,OC,NO,DE) and
Y is the last digit of the year (e.g. 6 for 1996). So, for example,
CHD-SE6.ZIP is the update for september 1996.
- Official browser upgrades
The upgrades of the browser will be very rare, or so I think. In fact we
will spread a new version only for bug-fixing. Perhaps we will release
other official browsers for different OS (Windows 3.1, '95, OS/2, Linux,
ecc.), but it's not sure. The name of the package file of the official
browser is CHBRWxx.ZIP (the extension may change), where xx is the version
of the browser.
However, a complete package with the last data file update and the last
browser upgrade will always be avaible. The name is CHLIB.ZIP (the extension
may change).

██ CATEGORIES ∙
██ ·
██████▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░
There are several kinds of cheats that can be found in ChLib. This is a list
of all the categories:
- CHEAT It is the most common trick. Generally it's a key combination that
active something that helps the player during the game, like invincibility,
infinity lives, level skipping, etc. Please, before e-mail me beacuase a
cheat doesn't work, try it a lot of times: sometimes it is just a timig pro-
blem (you must do it in the right moment).
- HACK It consists on modifying one file with an HEX editor (normally the
saved game file) to help the player, for example to obtain a lot of credits.
To apply the hacks, you need of some programs:
- An EXE file decompressor. Some software house compress the EXE files with
programs like PKLITE that leave the file executable. But before hacking,
it could be necessary decompress the EXE. The best program I found is
UNP by Ben Castricum that can be found in Internet at:
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/dresden/archiver/execomp/unp411a.zip
It's a SHAREWARE program.
- An HEX editor. You need this to modify the file. It's very important
that the editor has the search feature. I use ProView by McAfee,
that can be found (I'm not sure) at www.mcafee.com. It's a SHAREWARE
program, and it isn't only an editor.
There are mainly two hack formats: the first is a search&change hack:
search AA BB CC DD EE
change -- -- 11 22 --
This means that you must search for HEX values AA BB CC DD EE and replace
them with AA BB 11 22 EE.
the second format is a go&change hacks: you must enter a value in a specified
offset in the file. To do this, you only need of a "go" feature in your editor.
REMEMBER: you *SHOULD* backup your file before hacking them, because an error
can make a game unplayable. Moreover, a patch cannot be apllied on a modified
file.
- COMPLETE SOLUTION It's all you have to do to reach the end of the game.
- TIPS These are tricks to help you in the game without cheating. Normally are
game tactics.
- GAME ERRORS This section reports one or more bugs of which the player can
take advantage.
*MOD* |- MUCK AROUND In this section there are some useless undocumented
*MOD* |features, or hidden messages, ecc.
