Simply, YOU'RE REGISTERED now... as a matter of fact it's ILLEGAL REGISTRATION!!!!! 6. Where the hell is my registration info is stored ? The saved registration info is stored in the WIN.INI file under this below statement : [files] eci=99876 leci=36830 o`ld=Qhs`udr!Nseds bned=JHDUEUPW[RWQ 7. How can I practise with another registration key ? - I strongly recommended you not to do this ! END NOTES This program is sold as shareware, so you can try before you buy. This is convenient for you, saves expenses by dispensing with all that packaging, and cuts out the middle person. So it is cheap, but it is not free. If you like the program, and you will, be sure to register and pay. To keep shareware prices low, users must do the right thing: Register, pay up, and smile/grin at yourself in the mirror. Do not distribute your crack release based on this tutorial, because you become a LAMER(s)!!!!!!!! ( tHATDUDE (PC97) defined LAMER(s) is the guy who sits in front of personal computer, using Hex Editor, ripping off other group(s) crack release, repacking (distro) them under his name. Adopted from newsgroup alt.cracks, alt.crackers - February 1997 ) More about LAMER(s): lamer /n./ [prob. originated in skateboarder slang] Synonym for luser, not used much by hackers but common among warez d00dz, crackers, and phreakers. Oppose elite. Has the same connota tions of self-conscious elitism that use of luser does among hackers. < SOURCE: http://sagan.earthspace.net/jargon/jargon_27.html > _ Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity _ ASTAGA [D4C/C4A] tute-IRCColorEd10.zip [EOF] 10/31/00 5:18:12 AM
