PART 7 - Epilogue

Well folks, I'm sorry to have to break this to you, but I've just about told everything you should ever need to know to crack every protection system under the sun. So I'll just say some final words and credits, and then sign off, okay?

The idea of this book, its production and its writing were done entirely by Richard Swann, from February to June 1992.

Some suggestions and tips came from two people to whom this book is dedicated, Matt Corby from "down-the-road", and Niall "Mr Incredibly Technical" Daley. Thanks, guys!

Thanks to YS for putting disassemblers and the like on recent covertapes; it saved me the trouble of writing one!

Thanks to Jon North for some of the info on hacking he gave to me on disk recently - much appreciated, mate.

Thanks for YOU for buying this. There aren't many Speccy hackers around right now, so we need to make the numbers up. Good luck!

What's that? "I don't understand this bit at all!" I hear you say. Well, send me any queries that you may have about this book, stating exactly what the problem is, along with an SAE (very important that), and I'll do my best to reply to them. DON'T write to me asking me to hack a whole list of games for you - I just haven't got the time. However, I've got a big book of Multiface POKEs which you can obtain for 1.50 and an A4 SAE if you want it, so that might come in handy.

Thought for the year: Seven years ago, Spectrum and Commodore owners were at each other's throats. Spectrum owners would vow never to have anything to do with Commodore. Then why do I hear of so many Spectrum owners that have upgraded to a Commodore Amiga? Personally, I can't stand the Amiga's operating system - it's terrible!

Well, that seems to be about it, so I'll just leave you know in the hands of a glossary of terms. Happy hacking!
