Subject: Marathon Prefs Delete; a utilty for the game
Marathon is a great game! Unfortunately, its preferences can become corrupt
so easily! This apparently has been around for quite awhile. I remember
reading about people with the illegal beta copy that they were complaining
about preferences being corrupt. This was also an issue when the demo was
released, and now, finally, the released version itself. What a pain it is to
have to dig through the Preference Folder (even with PopUpFolder!) to delete
the unwanted prefs. Me and a friend came up with a small hack that does
nothing but delete the preferences to Marathon, nothing more. Just
Double-Click on the apps, and WHAM!, your corrupted preferences are gone!
Now all you have to do is launch Marathon and re-enter in your serial
number. HINT: Keep a folder handy that has been named the actual serial
number, and you can do a "Copy" before you launch Marathon, and "Paste" in
the serial number upon request. If you find this utility handy, just drop me
email at Heathen@aol.com to let me know if it is some value to you.
Otherwise, it is FREEWARE. I take no responsibility for lost data caused
by using this utility, nor any lost sleep playing Marathon. Enjoy!
