3. TERMS AND CONCEPTS
*.imp-files
The *.imp-files are found in WTM CD Protector directory with file names
as image1.imp, image2.imp, image3.imp, image4.imp, image5.imp, image6.imp
image7.imp and so on. These *.imp files get created when WTM CD Protector
is used by the user for the first time. Many *.img-files and larger ones
(image7.imp) improve the protection. The *.imp files will be in unreadable
format on the protected CD thus protecting the data.
Remember: These *.imp file of WTM Copy Protection V2 and WTM CD Protect
V1 are not compatible. You can mix it with no problem, but WTM V2 cannot
find *.imp from V1. The best way is to insert these files into folders.
CRC-Check
CRC Check is referred to the process by which some programs check themselves
for changes in the file. In *.imp, if files are added to CRC-check program-files
then this modification will be noticed by them and the execution would
get canceled.
File Type and their Appendix
The file types with appendix .exe, .com are Executable files. These executable
files can be protected with WTM CD Protector only if they have no CRC-Check.
The archived, packed files have appendix like szip, .rar, .ace, .tar,
.jar.. The archived, packed files cannot be protected using WTM CD Protector.
Similarly, the .html, .php, .doc, .xls, .txt appendix files named as documents,
files and images, pictures with appendix as .jpg, .bmp, .gif, .jpeg, ...also
cannot be protected using WTM CD Protector.
