Since 300 baud could mean a full disk transfer taking over an hour, any reduction in size would be welcomed. <P> One way to do this would be to take a program disk and turn the disk into a single, smaller file. Of course, most programs (especially games) would have protection schemes inside to check to see if this sort of manipulaiton had gone on. Enter the "Crackers", who would "Crack" the protection schemes so they didn't work anymore. <P> This battle waged and has continued to wage between Software Companies and Software Pirates. <P> <TABLE WIDTH=100%> <TD BGCOLOR=#00FF00><FONT COLOR=#000000><B>Filename</B><BR></FONT></TD> <TD BGCOLOR=#00DD00><FONT COLOR=#000000><B>Size</B><BR></FONT></TD> <TD BGCOLOR=#00AA00><FONT COLOR=#000000><B>Description of the Textfile</B><BR></TD></TR> <tab indent=60 id=T><br> <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="addocs.txt">addocs.txt</A> <tab to=T><TD> 17769<BR><TD> DOCS: Advanced Demuffin Version 1.1 by The Stack and The Inspector (February 8, 1983) <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="adexample.txt">adexample.txt</A> <tab to=T><TD> 2682<BR><TD> An Example of Using Advanced Demuffin to Crack a Game: Castle Wolfenstein <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="adtech.txt">adtech.txt</A> <tab to=T><TD> 16773<BR><TD> Technical Notes for Advanced Demuffin 1.1 by The Stack (1983) <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="advdem.app">advdem.app</A> <tab to=T><TD> 16645<BR><TD> Technical notes for Advanced DeMuffin II, a cracking tool <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="alienmdcheat.txt">alienmdcheat.txt</A> <tab to=T><TD> 1286<BR><TD> Alien Mind Cheat - Brought to you by The Baron <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="alienmindpatch.txt">alienmindpatch.txt</A> <tab to=T><TD> 2183<BR><TD> A Crack and patch for Alien Mind, from Fred Gotfredson <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="asstcracks1.txt">asstcracks1.txt</A> <tab to=T><TD> 8806<BR><TD> Assorted Cracks 1: Wings of Fury, VCR Companion, CrossWord Magic 4.0, Tetris, RoboCop, Ikari Warriors, etc. from Michael Kelsey <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="asstcracks2.txt">asstcracks2.txt</A> <tab to=T><TD> 11043<BR><TD> Assorted Cracks 2: From Mike Hackett <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="bardst3wheel.txt">bardst3wheel.txt</A> <tab to=T><TD> 565<BR><TD> Bard's Tale III Code Wheel crack,from Zhu Hang <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="bardstale.txt">bardstale.txt</A> <tab to=T><TD> 8219<BR><TD> Bard's Tale I and II GS character editor <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="battlechess.txt">battlechess.txt</A> <tab to=T><TD> 1084<BR><TD> Deprotect for Battle Chess <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="bubbleghost.txt">bubbleghost.txt</A> <tab to=T><TD> 3680<BR><TD> Bubble Ghost from Accolade <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="cheat.app">cheat.app</A> <tab to=T><TD> 4424<BR><TD> All manner of cheats for various Apple II games <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="cheats">cheats</A> <tab to=T><TD> 7416<BR><TD> LARGE Collection of Apple Cheats (Break into Monitor and Modify) <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="cheats.app">cheats.app</A> <tab to=T><TD> 2749<BR><TD> The Penguin's Apple Cheats <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="cheats2.app">cheats2.app</A> <tab to=T><TD> 4498<BR><TD> Apple Pirate's Cheats <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="chess2000.txt">chess2000.txt</A> <tab to=T><TD> 1493<BR><TD> ChessMaster 2100 GS <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="copyprog.app">copyprog.app</A> <tab to=T><TD> 2991<BR><TD> How to Copy Programs, by the Three Musketeers <TR VALIGN=TOP><TD ALIGN=TOP><A HREF="copyprot.app">copyprot.app</A> <tab to=T><TD> 15163<BR><TD> Copy-Protecting your own disks, by Thomas T.
