                  My cracks are PGP signed (note the .sig file). To
                  verify the file came from me and has not been tampered
                  with, issue this command (as applies to PGP 2.6.x):

                  PGP crack.sig crack.com 

                  You should get a message stating that it is a good
                  signature from me. Of course, you will need my public
                  key, which is available on the MIT keyserver.

Rhino 3D v1.0 Final (Demo) Hex Edit
===================================

Problem: Program uses SoftSENTRY to limit full program use
         to 50 uses. After 50 uses the program will no
         longer save or export.

Fix    : There is a (sort of) IsDemo flag in the main
         program. Found and patched to necessary value.
         SoftSENTRY library no longer called. Splash
         library modified for looks.
                  
BAK = original
EXE = cracked

This takes care of the lame SoftSENTRY protection STILL
being used by Robert McNeel. BTW, toolbars.dll is actually
the SoftSENTRY library. This is the actual crack.

Speaking of SoftSENTRY...you may want to backup your
\windows\winhelp.exe. This protection library actually
writes to it (adds 32 bytes or so to the end of it).
This is unacceptable. It also stores trial info in
\windows\system\ss.drv and at least one registry key.
Just FYI stuff here - the crack nullifies all of that.

(splashdemo.dll)

This takes care of the splash window - it will always show
50 uses left, and the counter in the registry will no longer
count down. This is for looks and crack completeness only.
