  Welcome to Intromaker Pack 2.0. I hope you've downloaded Intromaker Pack
1.X. This pack is completely different from THOSE sources/utilities, so
do NOT think this is a new, improved release of the 1.X series. They are
also very powerful and intructive ones, with lots of programming tricks.

  You may noticed that Intromaker Pack 1.X works on COM intro files, that
makes it impossible to chain longer intros to the programs we want to
'infect' with our intros. Of course, one can rewrite his/her intro to
COM format, but this may require a lot of unnecessary effort (think of
redesigning the ENTIRE code, to eliminate all the segment references etc...).
Not to mention the case when the program we want to link has longer code
segments than 64k  - this is not a frequent problem, although. It is the
eliminating the segment references that causes the problem when converting
EXE-format sources intto COM-format ones.

  Intromaker Pack 1.1 can infect any kind of EXEs with any COM-format
intros (of course, the header and the final parrt of these intros must
be overwritten with the given beginning//final codes, but that's easy to
put into one's code). Intromaker Pack 2.0 is much more powerful: it can
chain nt only COM's, but also EXE's to any EXE executables. You can put your
OWN diskmag, demo etc... IRREVERSIBLY on any demos. Furthermore, observing
the technique my PAS linkers modify the header information of both the
EXEs can be very instructive. Wanna develop a new generation of virii? :)
You won't be obliged to cconvert your EXEs into COM format any more.
I must tell you that it was this pack that allowed me to spread our
ex-diskmag, Scanner (sorry, no English releases available, although
Scanner 7 will have an English-Finnish version) so widely. I used
to link those mags to some hot pirated warez. Noone could remove them from
the games I've 'infected' (e.g. TimeQuest - do not forget I wrote these
uttilz in 1991 so don't think I have so lame old warez now in 1996:))
so in a few weeks the entire scene HAD the mag, even if it didn't
want it at all ;-).

  Also, I include not only the PASes that ADD the EXEs to any other EXEs,
but also a decent TSI-intro. The intro itself is some *5* years old!
Nevertheless, we've written it entirely in assemmbly. We code far better
now, of course :-). Run thge demo with demo.bat because it requires
a linked (copy /b) data file as well.

  Finally, I'd like to invite you to my homepage at
http://master.fok.hu/~dirk. It ccontains a lot of interesting articles/
codes/E-books on Computer Science, even books for coders, in both English and
Finnish.

  I hope you'll enjoy these utilities :)

  PS: I haven't changed a bit in any sources. Sorry for their lame English.
