AiToR's UNiVeRSaL PaTCHeR VoLuMe (UPV)

version 1.4

117 patches for 109 programs

1996 November 8th

ABOUT AiTOR.UPV

A few notes about my patches (and other things ;-)) ...

- 99 % of the patches included are 100% done by me, and all have been /
/ were tested at the moment of cracking, so excluding puntual patches
(like ARJ v2.50) it will be very rare to find a patch that doesn't
work.

- Another source of bugs could be an error transcripting patch data, but
I've taken special care with this, so hope this will not happen ...

- Info included about the patch is distributed in the following fields:

∙ Program  : Name of the program.

∙ Version  : Version.

∙ Language : Language/s supported.

∙ Type     : What kind of program is?

∙ + info   : Additional info, e.g.: author name, www pages,
ftp sites, e-mail address, etc. This is thought for
people who haven't the program and wanna test it ...

∙ Patch by : Name of the cracker (usually me) or source of the
patch when it's ripped.

∙ AiUPV    : Current version of AiTOR.UPV when patch is added to
the volume, e.g. all patches added to the volume
since last version (1.3) got this field filled with
'1.4' (current version). If a patch appeared in other
version(s) has been modified, all the versions will be
named.

∙ Tools    : Tools used to make the patch (usually debuggers,
editors and EXE unpackers).

∙ Purpose  : Main purpose of the patch.

∙ Note     : Additional info about the patch and usually my own
opinion about the program ...

Some of the sections have just been implemented, so many patches
presents some of them empty ... I'll try to fill them in next
releases ...

- 'Author' field from UP Editor is filled with:

∙ 'AiToR' when patch is 100% mine.

∙ 'AiToR ½' when patch is mine but I've done it with help from
other sources.

∙ 'Unknown' when patch has been ripped but author is unknown
(in the case of UnProtect everybody knows that tons of the
cracks included are ripped from other sources ... so the few
patches included here ripped from Unprotect will be labeled
as 'Unknown').

∙ 'Name_of_the_author' when patch has been ripped from a known
author.

- With each version of AiTOR.UPV is released a file called AiTOR.NFO
(this one you're reading). This is the old iNFO patches included with
previous versions inside the UPV plus something like a 'history file'
including a detailed list of patches with their dates of insertion
and version number. I think it has no interest but viewing the other
UPVs I see there's people interested in dates of insertion, etc., it
can be useful to take a quick look to know what new patches has been
released since last version ...

- Some of the patches included are for spanish versions, but many times
the program is the same changing only the strings or some specific
DLL or file, so if you're desperate try the Spanish patch, may be
it'll work ...

- I could say that 'all of the patches included are for educational
purposes only' or shits like that but I will not, make what you want
with them (I trust in your good sense). There are very good software
(usually shareware) whose authors want somebody to buy their products
to make better things in the future, so if you find the patched
software useful and you can (money, eternal problem!), support them !!

- If there is somebody out there asking himself what means 'Euskal
Herria': Euskal Herria = Basque Country, a nation between Spain and
France that in a future (hope not too far) will get the independence
... jo ta ke irabazi arte, gora Euskal Herria askatua !!
About the 'the best patches ...' sentence in patch credits it's only a
joke, I'm sure there're many good crackers here, most of them probably
better than me ;-).

- [B∙O∙S∙S]

- You're right, not only red info headers ;-)

- Agree with me, this is a kind of 'public service' ;-), not a
competition

- I think it's a good idea to make a list of serials ... I'll
include some next time in an isolated UPV

- [All UP supporters]

- What do you think about a list of web sites where to find
unpackers, debuggers, manuals, and other cracking related
material ??  I'm waiting your oppinions ...

- If anybody have a program too hard to crack, tell the others
writing a note in your info header ... it could be a way
to help ... I got a couple:

W32Dasm Demo version 5.1
- 32/16 bit Windows program disassembler
- found in many FTP sites as 'W32DASM5.ZiP'
- demo version doesn't let you Print and Save
it's a real demo version or can be cracked ??

ARJ v2.50+
- How could be enabled 360 kb SFX shareware limit??
Even if you enter valid keys (?!) without patching
this limit it's not unlocked ...

- OK, no more by now. Hope you understand all I wrote before.
All the UP supporters are waiting for the new Universal Patcher ][ ...
... it promises to be cooler than UP I (cooler ?? it's possible ??
yes, no easy, but yes possible !) ... until then I write my infos in
pure ASCii files like this, UP text editing environment is very, very,
uhm ... what's the word ? well you know how is it, isn't it?

- Greets to: Mr.DOS, Olalde brothers (Mikel, Jon and Pedro), Pipo,
Gloom Lord, Carlos and José Ignacio (Areetatik),
Troglo and Txemi (thanx for the ASM lessons ... and
more :)), all the iRC freaks at iTEUS/UBC (ykwya),
Egoitz & friends, and all the cool guys at UBC (very
few people, ykwya ;-)) ...
... yeeeepa !  Duckling, greets for you too ...
