- -> URGENT Notes About Revision 2.1+ <-
-
- THIS APPLIES IF YOU ARE UPDATING FROM REVISION 2.0
-
- Before you run version 2.1 of Code Thief it is PERTINENT that you
- DELETE your old MODEM.DAT file (if present) and start anew. The reason
- for this is that the modem configuration has a new paramater in it.
- This is the ability to define your own string to send out to the modem.
- If you have an advanced modem (IE USR 2400) then set this to ATX6. If
- it is blank then no string will be sent out to the modem as a user
- defined string. After you delete MODEM.DAT run the program and select
- Modem Paramaters/Defaults from the main menu and alter them if they
- don't suit you. If the old MODEM.DAT file is retained then the results
- will be unpredictable. I bet I'll have to explain to some dipwit why
- it didn't work when they refused to read a file called "URGENT.MSG".
- Geesh.
-
- -> Revision 2.2 Introduction <-
-
- You can ignore the note above to delete MODEM.DAT only if you are
- updating from revision 2.1 to 2.2. If you have 2.0 and are updating to
- 2.2 then READ IT NOW. VERY IMPORTANT.
-
- Sorry for making you download Code Thief **Again**, but there were a
- few bugs in the display during hacking that might have come out for
- you. That is why I am making this worth 0 file points on the Private
- Connection. Also, PARAMATER HACKING has been added. Consult the
- beginning of the documentation for extended information on this. This
- allows you to invoke Code Thief to hack multiple targets/multiple
- extenders from the DOS command line.
-
- -> Revision 2.1 Introduction <-
-
- There are other things in revision 2.1 also. When you set timed
- hacking to start at a later time you can now abort it's waiting by
- hitting ESCape. You used to have to reboot the whole system. Maybe I
- wasn't thinking earlier, maybe I was too lazy. Oh, speaking of timed
- hacking. My logic was off when I was coding it and subsequently if it
- was 11:00 pm (23:00) and you wanted to hack until 1:00 am it wouldn't
- work and would abort right away. This has been fixed. Timed hacking
- is totally fixed now and 100% reliable. Sorry but when you're
- programming and the music is loud it's hard to concentrate. Also,
- there was a QUIRK in revision 2.0 that when a code template was over 14
- characters (max is 16) it would chop off any characters over 14. Codes
- can be up to 14 digits but the code template can be 16 digits (to
- facilitate commas (modem 2 second pauses) if necessary). Someone also
- told me that their modem sent results of ":" and ";". They wanted to
- be able to enter strings as well as numbers for result codes. Now you
- can. Sounds like a wierd modem, but this has been facilitated. Also,
- the double window frames were getting to me so I made them single
- window frames. I thought the old window frames just lacked something.
- I feel better now. This will most likely be the FINAL release of Code
- Thief unless something prompts me to add something so that it won't
- become obsolete. Im pretty satisfied with its quality at the current
- time.
-
- -> Origional Revision 2.0 Introduction <-
-
- Welcome...
-
- Welcome to Code Thief revision 2.0. As you will notice this is a
- MAJOR release of the Code Thief program. READ the documentation.
- Print it out and actually follow it as you navigate through the menus.
- This will GREATLY enhance your knowledge as to the capabilities of the
- program and how it can be made to do anything you wish, hacking-wise.
-
- You Are Supplied With...
-
- With the program you are supplied EXTENDER.DAT and MTARG.DAT.
- EXTENDER.DAT is a non-ascii file, so don't jump on loading it into your
- word processor, because it will only screw things up. This file
- contains a few extender configurations courtesy of the Code Thief
- Project, a subsidiary of the Phortune 500 Board Of Directors.
- MTARG.DAT is, though, an ASCII format file and CAN be loaded into your
- favorite word processor for editing. This is done in case you download
- a listing of numbers off of a packet switched network
- (TELENET/TYMNET/Etc) in ASCII format and wish to use your text editor
- to make a MTARG.DAT file out of it. The maximum number of targets that
- can be in a MTARG.DAT file is 500. This is plenty for any purpose.
-
- Remember: Be sure to read THIEF21.DOC completely before asking
- questions - it's probably in there.
