-
- ■ Introduction
-
- Stick-Buster is the first program created, to open ALL shrinkers,
- encryptors, stickers and intros (SESI from now on). The full list is in
- the bottom of this document. Version 2.40 opens 35 different types of
- SESIs (not including the subtypes, of course).
-
- Stick-Buster will create a file, that is almost similar in it's size to
- the original file (usually a maximum of 1-2K difference), regardless of
- unused areas of the EXE file, such as it's header. (PKLite for example,
- stores it's original file's characteristics there, but stick-buster
- ignores it, and still opens that file).
-
- ■ Usage
-
- ┌───────────┬─────────┬─────────────────────────┬────────────────────────┐
- │ Sbust.EXE │ Options │Source_File[.COM | .EXE] │ Destination_File[.EXE] │
- └───────────┴─────────┴─────────────────────────┴────────────────────────┘
-
- Because of the chance that the destination file won't work, I decided
- to still not allow to override the original EXE / COM file.
-
- The registered version of Stick-Buster 2.11, now allows you to remove
- the main file instead of the sticked file, when you remove Message
- Stickers or Ady's Glue.
-
- A new option was added to Stick-Buster in version 2.11, that is used to
- display all known programs that Stick-Buster finds. To use it simply
- type: sbust -l
-
- Stick-Buster version 2.40 operates on COM files as well as EXE file.
- The destination file is always EXE.

- ■ DAMAGE Inc. ■ Additional note:
-
- if you like stick-buster why not send the author a little
- contribution ? (5 NIS) we have found recently that stick-buster is
- MUCH MUCH MUCH better than Xopen; Xopen is full of bugs and
- sometimes gives "GENERIC ERROR" while stick-buster NEVER fails.
