- Exorcist 2 -
aka "The Preview of Exorcist 3" (!)
by IKI SAMA.
EXR2 (finished in the middle of august !) was to be sold in the
commercial utilities' market, but when I saw the preview of AV3 (by our
good old Ched !), I thought that it was better spreading EXR2 for free
(eheh !!!).
Actually EXR2 is unfinished... Indeed some big bugs haunt the
program : the cursor in the input-line is not erased when you confirm
a 34-lines long name, the "move" option bugs when you don't have a library
in memory... All the bugs are blasted in EXR3.
If you are a so-called "lamer", and just want to be sure that
your disks are protected against any virus attack, you just have to load
the program, and then, insert all the disks to immunize. Press * when the
disk is in the drive. A small lamp appears on the top-right hand corner
of the screen. When it disappears, the disk is exorcised, you just have
to replace the present disk by another one !
But there are more nice options in the program. Find them yourself !
(first, have a look at the text..)
The program explains how it works itself. Just click on any option
while you're holding the alternate key. Release the mouse button to quit
this mode.
That's all. Quick, no ? Hope you'll like EXR2 !!!
Yours, IKI.
And now, for something completely different.
- Exorcist 3 -
This is a small review of the preview ! I started coding EXR3
two days after having released EXR2. And I mainly coded three new options
(among many new others) which are :
- a program integrator (.prg or .bin). You just have to select a
program and its 480 first bytes will be included in the boot. If its size
is less than 480 bytes, the bra at the beginning is modified so that the
program is ran normally.
- a bootsector editor (finally !). This one is very powerful and easy
to use (you can use your mouse to select the bytes to change, etc.) I will
say no more about this...
- and... a disassembler !!! It disassembles the boots better than
(beep), and allows you to define your own data zones, then you won't see
any shit more on the screen... the printing is very fast ! Many surprises,
indeed, in EXR3... (which will hopefully be finished in some weeks, or
maybe during the november holidays (I suppose you understood that my parents
took my ST becoz the school year's back...)
See ya' ! -TETSUO-
