WHAT TRMPCRAK DOES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TrmpCrak will recover lost passwords that are used to log into a SLIP or
PPP server via Trumpet Winsock.  Forgetting one's login password, especially 
when it's saved on disk, seems to be a common problem for many people, so I 
decided to help out by writing this password recovery utility.



HOW TO RUN TRMPCRAK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to recover a lost or forgotten Trumpet Winsock password, simply type
the following on the DOS command line:

   TRMPCRAK <config_file>

Replace the <config_file> parameter with the name of the Winsock configuration
file.  This file is usually called 'TRUMPWSK.INI' and resides in your
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory or somewhere similiar.

TrmpCrak will read the Winsock configuration file and print the login name,
SLIP/PPP dial-up number, and password that are used to login via Trumpet 
Winsock.



*** Notes ***

(a) TrmpCrak v1.0 will only crack passwords that are eight characters
    long (maximum).

(b) TrmpCrak has only been tested with version 2.1 Revision F of
    Trumpet Winsock, so if you find a version that it doesn't work 
    with, let me know.
