  It's been awhile since I last released a  version of Rose Patch,  I  
  still use UNP to remove the Tinyprog layer, I've spent hours trying  
  to write my own Tinyprog unpacker  but I had no success.   This new  
  version of Rose  Patch now removes  the following versions of Rose-  
  Tiny:  0.92, 0.94, 0.95, 0.96, 0.97, 0.98, 1.00, 1.01 and 1.02,  it  
  also removes the following versions of Tinyprot: 1.0c, 1.0d & 1.0e.  
  I pretty much rewrote the whole program,  it was a mess and I could  
  not understand  my own code,  in the  middle of  re-coding this new  
  version I got restless and started coding sloppy again (aww well.).  
  I've started to work on more 'intelligent' code which would analyse  
  the protected file's code and automatically find the correct values  
  for the offset of the start of the encryption,  the number of bytes  
  encrypted, the key and the correct value for offset $21 & $22, this  
  hasn't yet  been applied to  this version,  but hopefully  it'll be  
  ready for the next release.  Although I've  corrected a lot of bugs  
  since the last version, I expect that there will still be something  
  I missed, please send  in bug reports so  I can fix them.  Finally,  
  some people didn't enjoy that 80KB WAV  I included in the  last re-  
  lease,  so I've decided not to include a  AVI of me doing the robot  
  dance and a GIF of my shoelace collection,  which I was planning to  
  include,  you  people are  no fun.  :(  Anyways,  have a  miserable  
  Christmas and a crappy new year.  Bah... I need a drink...
