UM Question 2
Wed Nov 11 14:56:45 1998


1) My idea is that after the registeration, the program adds a string to the registry meaning it's registered. Looking at the dead listing, I found several references to registry and "commands" like 'setkey' (which I think is used to write a string to registry)

About the point 3.1) of question 1), isn't it possible to nop the call for that message (and sillicon surfer's too), avoiding it to appear?

2) I can't find any reference to dates in any file or registry, but after changing the date 1 week forward saw the message ' You are on day 8 of your 30 days...". My idea is that maybe the program compares the actual date with the date of criation of the .exe file.
This is PROBABLY a stupid answer, but we can still use it if we change the date after the 30 days or using DATACRACK to keep the instalatios date.

3) the 3rd one is too tough to me (I hope to get better from now on...)

While I was using WDasm, I found a string called "Reg" that makes a call to other function where the program makes some tests. I don't know if this means anything, but...

One more thing Sandman, You could give us the chance of downloading all the messages from a project at once (maybe by selecting the desired day), since I'm just about 1 hour a day connected to the net and it would be cheaper to read all the other newbees messages. Think about this and then say something...
