VPD Version 50a
Discovered By:
Unknown
Date:
Late 1996
Patched:
Hexed various times by Lithium Node and O0O to continue functioning
There were various versions of VPD but one of the first for the 16-bit AOL
3.0 client was v.50a. 50a supported the ability to browse any AOL form
and look at the FDO scripting of it. Now this was possible using Atomic
Debugger, however, Atomic Debugger's atom trace feature was very buggy and
the program usually crashed when opening large forms.
VPD 50a was what made it possible for Lithium Node and others to get a
real grasp of the FDO language. Without this tool it would have been near
impossible for anyone to have had an understanding of FDO prior to the
discovery of the Star Tool for 32-bit AOL clients in 1999.
