CASH2000 Qwiky Docs
Cash2000 was quickly written by Brian Curnow, Jr.
This program will modify bytes to give you lots
of money and to bump up the year.
The program does not give you the *maximum* amount of
money. There is a reason for this. I found that if you
have the maximum amount of money and you get $1 more, the
amount of money you have will wrap around and you end up
with negative 2 billion dollars. Not good.
Make sure you backup your file before using this program.
I haven't tested it a lot, so better safe than sorry.
The program uses some patterns I found in the files to
figure out which bytes to modify. If there is a pattern
which I never saw in my 23 files, then the program will
not work for you.
If you have >16 million dollars or <0 dollars, the program
will complain even if it really does recognize your file.
I did this as a precaution in case one of my patterns can
produce multiple configurations. I use the fact that people
will rarely have >16 mil or <0 to help make sure. If you
want to disable this, add the -s switch after the file name.
(This also means you can't modify a file twice, unless you
use the -s the second time.)
If you have a file that will not modify at all, please
send it to me. I might be interested in adding its info
for you.
If you use this and like it, send me a message to let me
know. I spent a few hours figuring out how to do this
and would love to hear from people using it.

Let me close by saying: MAKE A BACKUP! This program works
great when it works, but when it doesn't, look out! Your
city could end up so many bits in a simulated bucket.
This program created with Microsoft Visual C++ 1.5: Another
great product from Microsoft Corp.
