 MR> Have a good One!

     The Exe probably has one of 2 things inolved.   It has a self
     check.  So the author may have had it check itself for filesze
     or end of file marker.  The patch may have fiddled with that
     thus the error.  Probably so that no cracks could be done on
     the program to get it free.  The other thing it could be pklited
     or compressed.  I have a program called Wcomp which shows all
     formats of exes in which language they were written in and
     if compressed.  There should be a way to check that.  You could
     then unlite/uncompress it then patch it then repklite it.






... ISN is walking a fine line.  If they push too far, they'll be shut dow
