You played the game and the cheat program played also. What still beats me is why every1 still wnats to cheat on minesweeper. Just edit the damn minsweeper.ini and add ridiculous values to the top score list. Job done every1 thinks ur a legend. Just to be more kewl atrtib +r the file it not really a secure measure but stops those secretaries who live on minesweeper beating ur score. Good to know secretaries are useful for something hey?? Coz the sure know dick about computers. >--- > ______________ ______________ > / __ \_________) Tony Tehan (_________/ __ \ > / | |___) eeittn@eeibhus01.ericsson.se (___| | \ > / (\_|__) Ericsson's Systems Expertise (__|_/) \ > / (_____) Dublin 4, Ireland (_____) \ >and here is a little fortune cookie (last update - >Wed May 10 14:59:34 BST 1995) >Some men are discovered; others are found out.
