    Hi jeff...

    this is also my first DOS reverse and first keyfile...I suggest you review all the postings in my thread...everyone has helped me to keep pace...

    my initial mistakes:

    tried using DOS Edit (ascii text editor) to create the caveman.dat file...this does not work...must use a hex editor like psedit to directly pass binary hex values to the file...

    overlooked the third file read where it looks for a 2 byte integer that it manipulates with your username...

    *** also ***

    try using softice ldr.exe...i.e "ldr caveman.com"
    this breaks on the first instruction of the program...this is a .com program...instructions begin on line 0100...

    hope this helps...
