[comp.sys.mac] Hypercard Passwords Revisited

eckert@lll-lcc.aRpA (Philip D. Eckert) (02/23/88)

A few weeks ago, I asked about defeating Hypercard passwords and
I recieved several replies that told me about the stacks HYPERZAP
and DEPROTECT. These two stacks do a good job of removing regular
passwords, but is there anything out there that will remove PRIVATE
passwords as well.  Thank you.

Since I was the author of the XCMD in both HyperZap as well as Deprotect
I am wondering what you mean by PRIVATE passwords?  (Deprotect stack
was my original stack, HyperZap was someone else putting a new wrapper
around the same XCMD.)

If you can let me know what you mean by Private passwords, I will try
to work out a way to remove them. I will include it in a new version
of Deprotect.

I have never heard of Private passwords so you have one on me there!

1)	Could somebody please post (or mail directly to me, but I expect
	there will be others interested) the stacks HYPERZAP & DEPROTECT
	- if they're not commercial products. I for one get tired of
	using FEdit all the time...

2)	If somebody knows how to remove PRIVATE passwords, could they
	post it? I spent some time in FEdit rebuilding the encrypted
	parts of a stack only to get an unpassworded stack which did
	nothing!

Thanks in advance
