- I don`t think that prince.exe is a text-file.
- Seems to be an EXE-file, so you can`t use a text-editor.
- Try DOS` debug command:
- type "debug prince.exe"
- type "r"
- read the "CX=" and write it down
- read the first chars of the last line ("xxxx:yyyy"), write down yyyy
- type "H (insert value of cx here) [space-key] (insert value yyyy here)"
- read first value (the end-address), write it down
- type "S (insert yyyy) (insert end-address) (insert search-for-bytes here)
- read the address found by the search-command
- type "D (above adress)"
- if it`s the right hexcode, then type "I address value value value..."
- type "W" to write the file to disk
- "Q" to exit the debugger
-
- Remember: always save the original file before modifying,
- eg with "copy prince.exe prince.ori" or so.
- Hope this helps.
