Crack Master is a sector editor type of program, which can be use to remove 
 protection and doc checks from programs.


All commands can be done by hot keys or use of your mouse. 

Lets say you want to remove the protection from example: Lost Vikings

 1) You would run CRCKMSTR.EXE, look at the menus, you will 
    see the first letters are highlighted. 

 2) By using ALT-C, you can access the crack menu, once in the 
    crack menu you have a listing of programs that Crack Master will 
    un-protect. 

 3) Scroll up or down the list till you find the program you want,
    press ENTER or RETURN on that program. 

 4) Crack Master will prompt you for the path to that program. 

  5) You must give the full path (NOT THE FILE(s) NAME(s)) 
    EXAMPLE: D:\GAMES\VIKINGS\ <<< you must add the end slash "\".

Crack Master will now copy the file(s) it will need to edit to a directory
 called "BKUP" ( once you've finished and run the program that was edited 
 you may want to go to the BKUP dir and delete these files ) as it copies 
 the file(s) you will see numbers that tell you how many bytes have been
 copied.
