A while back, someone posted crack and cheat patches for the game
Xenocide, by Micro Revelations.  Shortly following that, was a prolonged
discussion about the authors' methods of protection and whether or not
protection was a good idea.

I remember reading that the author planned to slightly alter his code
periodically to keep any one patch from becoming viable.  It seems this
has worked.  Does anyone have a current patch to allow Xenocide to run
from a hard disk without the original in the drive at all times, or a
new patch to cheat for unlimited men etc.?

If so, please mail me a copy.  Thanks.
