- Changes in v2.00 compared to 1.22:
-
- ■ Changed
- 1) Max number of topics is now 5, and maxium bytes per topic are now
- 10. So CE is now capable of patching up to 50 bytes/offsets.
- 2) Both maker/patches code were optimized. Should be transparent to
- user, but now CE works much more efficiently, internally.
- 3) Several details in display, to be a little more pleasant when
- entering values.
- 4) My internet address was wrong. an201088@anon.penet.fi is the correct.
- 5) Finally, to the 0.38% of you who read docs, I checked them a bit,
- Portuguese DOCs were removed due to the lack of interest from
- the locals.
-
- ■ Fixed bugs
- 1) Some filenames lost letters, making the "auto seek" impossible
- with those files.
- 2) Fixed several count/display bugs, that caused no malfunctions,
- but were annoying.
- Ex: Using a 16 bit number to store file sizes was quite careless. :)
-
- ■ Added
- 1) Now you can add the string "Registered to <your group or name>"
- to the top of your patches, giving a somewhat pro (?) look.
- You can do this in two ways:
- 1.1) Send me a message with:
- Comments, location, where did you find CE, insults, whatever.
- If I like your messie and you've asked for it, I'll send you
- a registration key.
- 1.2) Hack it. I spent no time protecting the reg code since this
- is free. It should be piece of cake to register it yourself.
- However, be cool and send the messie or be lame and don't.
- Unregistered versions will NOT display any text stating it, that
- would add a lame look to your patches, they're also not crippled.
-
- 2) Configurable strings.
- Now you can define your own strings, if you dislike the default
- look of the patches.
- For example:
- "Target program" can become "ViCTiM Pr0GGy" or whatever.
- Strings are saved in CE.CFG, so you need to type them only once.
- If you screw up, you can return to the default strings.
-
- 3) Code to avoid ripps of patches. Now you cannot change the main
- info in the created patches. (names,notes,etc)
- Since this should be enough, I removed the encryption.
-
- 4) Topics can now be defined as "askable" or not.
- If yes, the user will be asked if he wants it, if no, CE will
- patch immediatly.
-
- 5) CE.EXE code was protected with a new encryptor made by a local
- coder. I don't know him, but it's always good to support national
- software. If you like the encryptor, be informed that it's called
- Mask.
-
- 6) Added spell. Now you must upload CE to at least 5 BBS and 3 FTPs,
- or a terrible curse will fall upon you and your offspring.
-
- 7) Since some people asked for CEDIT, here it is included, it's only
- 80KB so it won't bother the others much.
- Not as powerful as HIEW, but easier to use.
- Remember that this program was not coded by me, so no comments
- about it.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- Due to all the extra code, patches are now bigger: 8 KB.
- I think this is still a very acceptable value. If you need really
- tiny patches in the v34 era then get TASM and make something
- for your case.
-
- I think no bugs live inside the code now, but if they do, yell.
- I really have no patience to check everything. It's also
- pretty moron-proof, but I'm sure you'll still find a way to
- fuck it up. :)
-
- Bored, yeahp, dead bored...
