%> ************************ BUG FIX RELEASE ********************
   If you have version 1.40 and use a communications port other than comport 1,
   forget about it and use this one. Black Ice found a problem where it only
   assigned your com port correctly if the configuration file said your com
   port was 1. Sniff. I apologize whole-heartedly for my fuckup. And yeah, the
   buggy 1.40 spread a little too quickly, made it to 4 states without this bug
   being caught, kudos going to Black Ice.

%>  Witness the  new generation  of hacking  codes with  this release of Sphere
    Hacker. Unfortunately, the source code to 1.30 was lost and the most recent
    backup available was v1.10, which was never released to the general public.
    Some new features :
      o Spiphier installation program.
      o New Exchange - 950-0070, kudos to TcO.
      o PBXMode  and PBXNumber in the  Sphere.Cfg file allow you  to hack PBX's
        with codes up  to a length of 40  digits <hey, if you find  one with 40
        digits, let me know..I gotta try..;)>
      o I fixed the  DialPrefix value so that it will now  not ignore what's in
        there.  For your  sanity's sake,  I HIGHLY  recommend putting  a single
        letter, T  in there. Many people  were complaining about it  dialing in
        pulse  mode because  they have  cheesy modems.  If you  put a  T as the
        DialPrefix, it'll  solve this problem.  Also if you  have CallerID, put
        the *67 whatever  in the to keep people from  calling you back bitching
        at you.
      o Sped up  a  LOT  of the  file handling.  Previously I  was attempting a
        complete read through of the CodeFile to get a simple count of how many
        code attempts, that attempt was futile and I discovered a much improved
        method.

%>  Information on the Installation :
    o It's useless  to resist the force of the  password. If you somehow figure
      out a  way around that  password, pass it  a long so  I can give  you the
      golden key to New York City.
    o If you  can't find  the password  or  you're  not bright  enough for some
      strange reason to  guess the password or know no  one willing to give it
      to you, you  can reach me on my  board at 214/226:2521. You will  only be
      given the password after complete validation on my board. Sound easy? You
      haven't seen my  InfoForm have you? The NUP to  my board is quite simple,
      my handle :  THE OZONE, that's right, it ASKS  you for the goddamned name
      of the sysop, so for crying out loud, ENTER the FULL THING : THE OZONE.
    o Think  you're a bad  ass hacker  and  can just GUESS  the password? Think
      again, it'll take a while. First it  decrypts the files using the key you
      gave it,  then checks the  CRC's and stuff  of the files  compared to the
      original ones to  see if you got the password  right. Sorry, it'll take a
      long time  because it decrypts no  matter WHAT password you  give it, but
      for  something intelligible  to come  out of  it it  has to  be the RIGHT
      password. Sorry the  decryption is slow, but it's a  good solid method of
      encryption.
    o The latest version is ALWAYS  F'Reqable from my system, Anyone can F'req,
      the magic word is SPHERE.
