- CODECRAK.BAS was designed to break the encoded data file of
- the game DISARM.COM for the Heath H-89 and similar computers.
-
- CODECRAK reads the data file and converts what seems like gib-
- berish to readable text. The program assumes the file DISARM.DAT
- will be on disk B: and that you have a printer. If either of these
- are not true the program is easily modified to fit your system.
- Line 10 opens the file and line 140 handles text output.
-
- An interesting side effect of CODECRAK is that a normal text file
- run through the program will come out scrambled and if it is run
- through again it will come out readable. This may be of interest to
- users interested in sending coded text. If you do decide to do this
- line 10 will have to be changed to ask for a file name.
-
- This program came out of the fact that I have been stumped by DISARM
- for many months and I was hoping that if I could read the data file of
- the game I might be able to gain some useful insight to the game.
- So far the file has yielded some clues, although it is not enough to
- spoil the game; or even make it much easier.
