FastPatch v1.0 Beta
--------------------

What is FastPatch?
FastPatch is a patch engine which let's you write Patch-Scripts to distribute among the
crackers community. The advantage is that a Patch-Script is infinitely smaller than exe-
patches or even patched executables. 

On this version:
This is a FastPatch limited version. The only disabled function is the Fast-Patch wizard.

How can I obtain a full version?
There are two ways of getting it:
1. Send us a mail and we will send you the complete version (this is the one we prefer!).
2. You can crack the executable (even with the program itself!). I'am a cracker and I know 
   what you guys are doing out there but please: I've released this program just for fun so, 
   do me that favour and send me a little mail and I'll send you a complete version. Maybe 
   we can exchange some information, who knows. I repeat: the full version is also freeware
   as this version, all you have to do is to request a copy. 
If you've chosen the second option and cracked the program yourself, please, I beg you not to 
distribute your copy. Maybe others will contact me for a full version.
Ordering the full version you will get free mail notification on updates and a full-colour
printable manual (Word for Windows 6.0) with many cracking examples.

How does this thing work?
Load the Patch-Script into memory by clicking the Open button (first to the left).
After the loading process is completed, press the Patch button (second to the left)
and the file will be modified. Yes, it's that easy!

For those of you who cracked this thing, here's the description for the Editor.
The "Title" field let's you specify a title string for your patch. This string will appear 
at the caption bar of the main window when the script is loaded into memory. 
The "File" field is meant to specify the file you are going to patch. For example, 
"EXPLORER.EXE". The easiest way to obtain this information is by pressing the "Select" 
button and selecting the file you want to patch. Doing it this way, the program
will fill out the two fields automatically (File and Size). Remember to choose the UNPATCHED
ORIGINAL file, if you don't, the script probably won't work. 
Next step is to add a comment to your patch file. This can be your home url, instructions on
the patch or anything you want.
The most delicate step is adding the data to the data box. The data you enter won't be
strongly verified so I recommend you to read the string you typed CAREFULLY at least THREE
TIMES before you press the OK button to enter the data.
The Offset has to be 8 digits long and in hexadecimal notation.
Example: "256"(dec) would be "000000FF"(hex). Do not type any other characters than the HEX
chars in this box, else the prog would abort with an error message.
The data is the part where you have to pay special attention.
Every data has to be a two digit hex number. You can patch more than one number in one line
by separating the numbers with a space sign. 
Example: You want to erase a call at offset "F0F0F0F0"(hex.) which is 5 bytes long, you have
to type "90 90 90 90 90" in the data box.
           ^  ^  ^  ^  These are space signs. Be carefull, a space sign at the end of the 
string would generate an error message and cause the program to terminate.
Error messages are specially critical because, depending on which line the error is in,
the file to patch can be destroyed (therefore I use to make backups;->).
I think you know how to obtain the offset of an instruction using W32Dasm or similar.
The opcodes shouldn't be a problem either. If you don't know how to obtain offsets or 
opcodes, you better leave your fingers away from this program!

More on the application.
This program is designed for 800X600, anyway you can run it on 1024X786.640X480 would be
a bad idea! Computer software should be free (or nearly free). It is ironical that we have 
to pay a HUGE amount of money for programs which are obsolete after 12 month (or even less). 
My opinion: Bill won't notice if Windows is sold for a few bugs. 
(he has enough money).

Final words.
Yes fellows I hope you use this proggy and make me famous :-).
This is freeware as long as you don't modify or sell it!. I mean, do what you want with it but
don't distribute if cracked-d'you get me? I have spend a lot of time writing this program so
please (I know I'm repeating very much) order a full copy. That's only 'cause I want to see how may people are using this.
