- ANNOUNCING the discovery of text file steroids!!!
-
- Do you need to bulk up that thin 1K text file of yours to a big 10K
- text file? You want to be the top uploader in your favorite phreak
- board, eh? Well, the scientists at the MS/PC-DOS testing lab here
- in Struct Def City, California have discovered a "loophole" in text
- files. The designers of DOS made the end-of-file marker (tells DOS
- that the text file ends there and there is no more text to be shown
- after it) a Ctrl-Z;ASCII 26;HEX 1A. However, we found a text editor
- that ignores the Ctrl-Z and therefore, bypasses the Ctrl-Z barrier.
- Futhermore, you could create a binary file which acts as a text file.
- This means that you could add anything after any text file to add
- muscle to it (And moves you closer to be the top uploader in your
- favorite BBS).
-
- Also, as an added bonus, you can hide your *secret information* from
- people who is not supposed to be looking at your file. This means
- that you could trade codes without anybody knowing anything. For
- example, you upload a "buffed" text file to a BBS containing your
- "codez". You tell your friend that it has the codez imbeded to it
- and he then extracts it. You could choose who gets your codez.
- Anybody could download it *but* nobody could get the codes unless you
- tell 'em it's there. BTW- You need my text file editor that bypasses
- the Ctrl-Z barrier or use your all trusty Norton Utilities to get rid
- of those 1A's;26's;Ctrl-Z's.
-
- Have fun!!
-
- CAUTION: This file has steroids imbeded to it....
