[rec.music.synth] Anyone use Cakewalk?

travis@bsu-cs.bsu.edu (Travis Michael Banks) (10/31/90)

If anyone uses Cakewalk on the IBM.... have you Ever used the control D and
got a pop up that asked if you want to view the memory map, and then asked for
a password?
I got this on accident and was wondering what it was!

I did this; what I did was CTL-ALT-D and sure enough that window comes up.

My assumption is that this was for debugging the original program and
users were not supposed to get this screen (CTL-ALT-D too close to
CLT-ALT-DEL reset).

By the way does anyone know the password?  I think I'll disassemble the code
and see if I ca figure it out.  I also think I'll call tech support and
see what they have to say.

           Kent.

Just run something like strings on it.  It's pretty easy to find then.

(I did this once, but I can't remember the password.)

Basically, you get some kind of memory dump.

Have fun,
Bob
