Compiled by Nicholas Sherlock of
<a href="http://www.sherlocksoftware.org/" target="_blank">Sherlock Software</a> from my
LNZ information and other info. Makes the sections easier to find, as well as providing
a set of great colour-charts for all of the games and a good visual aid to x,y,z
coordinates. The file is in CHM help format. Only up to date as far as Feb 2005; check

Nicholas created the marvellous LNZPro and Tinker tools. All the info in my howtos
is still valid for anyone who wants to understand what goes on "under the hood", and
my "easy" packages are still fun to use, but these two new tools make things
amazingly easy for us hexers. Give 'em a try, you know you want to :-)

Mine was made before I had the game, so I was working "blind" and

it has a checksum facility.<br>
There are <b>loads</b> of hex editors available; just do a search using<br>
<a href="https://google.com/" target="_top">Google</a> for: "Hex editor" Freeware<br>
Note: I will not send you the hex editors etc that I use (download them yourself) and I
will not recommend any particularly; the ones listed here I happen to use but that
doesn't mean you'll like them best. Lots of people use different ones. Find one that you
like and experiment with it on something unimportant.

<strong id="RON">Guest Information</b><br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
</span>
<span class="normal">
These are pages of information which Ron Tigat had up at his Odd Planet site; while
that site is down, it seemed a shame for this information to be lost. These pages
are of interest to people who edit for Oddballz and like to know in-depth stuff.
Although Oddballz is not a Win32 game, the information is still useful for those of
us who edit for the Win32 Petz games.<br>
