Safety :
~~~~~~~~
The key generator should arrive in a authenticity verified pkzip
archive, with both ge-crk.doc and ge-crk.exe having the same
date/time stamps. If this is not the case, the program could have
tampered with.
Introduction and Technical Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The actual key is made up of a CRC, a name and a serial
number. The key is a series of hex bytes, and it will always be
of even length since TWO characters in the key make ONE hex byte.
Thus, 4 characters make a word and the first word in the key is
the CRC value. Then there is a sysop name of variable length, a
comma and a serial number, all encrypted.
The serial number is not related to the name. We decided
to improve on the previous version of the key generator, by
calculating the serial from the system clock. As a side note,
good crackers think ahead of the programmer. Thus, by ensuring
a random serial number, it is far harder for Odinn (The Author
of GoldED) to detect fake keys.
Usage :
~~~~~~~
Place GE-CRK.EXE in your GoldED directory. Run GE-CRK.EXE
and enter your name when it asks. Your REGISTERKEY will be
displayed to your screen AND attached to the end of your
GOLDED.CFG. If you decide NOT to place GE-CRK.EXE in your GoldED
directory, the program will display your REGISTERKEY to the
screen.
Disclaimer:
~~~~~~~~~~~
We make no guarentees that this program won't cause
damage to equipment, loss of income, formation of gang green in
limbs, pregnancy, baldness, impotency or even make that video
recorder not turn on when your sure your programmed it
correctly. Even better, if this does happen, we take no
responsibility for it. Your the one that ran the program in the
first place....ehhh?
Greetings-Thanks:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This key generator would not have been possible if it was
not for a kind sysop who lent us his key. We wont mention names
but we thank you very much for your help and co-operation. Thanks
to all members of T.R.T for helping out, esp The Illusive Shadow.
Special Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If your key DOES NOT work, run the program again. I have
found a few situations where the key is not accepted, but 99% of
keys work.
All the best,
Wolfgang Gullich
