WHAT TD183FIX IS FOR?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a public domain program to patch a bug in TrapDoor 1.83:
during EMSI handshake the program gurus if it receives a packet string
longer than 512 bytes (the tech why is explained in the source code file).
Please feel free to redistribute in any way you like the whole package
(you cannot distribute just a part of it).
If you modify it, please leave the original files together with the
modified version, so people will still be able to contact me (see paranoid
section).
Last, this package is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, either
expressed or implied. Should the package prove defective, you assume the
entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction even if I
have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

FOR PARANOID SYSOPS (AND POINTOPS, OF COURSE) ONLY ;-D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now you are thinking that it is possible that the archive you downloaded
has been tampered. I hatched it in SAN, so if you downloaded the archive
directly from a Sky Amiga Network node there should be no problems at all
(I know, the node's sysop may have tampered the archive...).
I decided to included the source code for two reasons:
1) so you can reassemble the program and run the your-own-assembled-version
2) so the tamperer has his life easier
If you like hand-made things you can also patch the original trapdoor
executable by hand (using a hex file editor), here is the diff:

------ ----- -----
$2972 $FDF4 $8004
$2980 $FDF4 $8004
$2992 $FDF8 $8008
$29C0 $FDF8 $8008
$29C8 $FDF4 $8004
The advantage of using the program, is that you are always sure you are
patching the correct version of TrapDoor 1.83 (TrapDoor 4.279 7-Nov-92)
Have fun,
