- Description: A slow and buggy file manager for Windows 95. Still, it
- seems to be liked a lot. It does have some nice functions
- (like "Extract ASCII"), but nothing out of the ordinary.
- Works somewhat like a web browser, hence the name. Pricey.
-
- Instructions: 1) Make sure you download the right file, because PGC
- frequently releases new builds of their programs;
- 2) Copy or move K-TB98.EXE to the program's directory;
- 3) Run K-TB98.EXE.
-
- Details: PGC's programs are always easy to crack, and this is no
- exception. Turbo Browser has only one nag that shows up only
- once, when the program is close to expiration. Once expired,
- the program won't run. The patch will take care of both
- occurences. FYI, the evaluation info (i.e. the date) is stored
- in two registry keys:
-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion
- key: "S4 Status"
-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Security
- key: "STT1."
-
- Why two? I have no idea. You should ask Pacific Gold. ;-)
-
- There's also an ugly reference to a trial version inside the
- main executable that goes something like:
- "*** Trial Version ***"
-
- But I couldn't find this displayed anywhere in the program, so
- I left it as is. If you see it somewhere and it annoys you,
- you can get rid of it yourself by going to offset E8214 (hex)
- or 950804 (decimal) and either replacing the string with spaces
- (skipping over each NUL or 00 characters) or replacing the
- first ("*") with a NUL (00 hex).
-
- Patch by Dreamless Sleep, compiled with Pcom.
- (Sorry, didn't have time for a fancy ASCII drawing.)
