Tips & Tricks for Crippled Programs


Crippled Programs (CbD)
A very good starting place for crippled programs is MessageBox[A] or DialogBox[A] as these are most often used to CALL the little box you see when you try to use a function that is disabled (You can't do it if it's a demo version) or in your disassembler, W32DASM for instance, look in the String Ref's fore something like "Function Not Avaible in Demo" or "Command Not Avaible" or even "Can't save in Shareware/Demo". These are good pointers to the CALLs that you want to bypass.
