Fun facts: Some cracking "group" pretty much ripped my earlier crack
(including parts of the NFO file!) for this program and
updated it for 4.03. (I'm flattered.) I thought they'd
continue with 4.04, but apparently not, so here's an update.
In the uncracked version, holding Ctrl-Shift as you press OK
in the "About" box will extend your trial period by 30 days.
Date first run, date last run, 30-day extension, etc, are all
encoded in a bogus registry key. Deleting this key will
reset the trial period for the uncracked version. It is:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{32B7D1E0-E931-11CE-AE10-444553540000}
Problems? Contact me by posting a message to my attention
(i.e. Attn: Dreamless...) in alt.binaries.cracks (that's a
Usenet newsgroup). Please give as many possibly useful
details as you can; the operating system (Win95, NT, 98...)
is particularly important. Make sure you have the right
version of the program, though. (I don't have much time for
cracks these days, so don't be surprised if your messages go
unanswered; I read all, though.)
