Brother cheater,

It has come to my attention that many dont know how to use a dat file and many of you have mailed me with interesting stories in reguards to how you have tried to apply these cheats to the game.  I am sorry I did laugh at many of these, my apolgies.  Here is a short explaination on what you we need and how to do it.  

First you need a dat.  The public dat that I posted now comes with dhack so that is one step out of the way.  Use winzip and extract dhack and the dat files into your diablo directory.  Create a short cut for dhack and put it on your desck top (optional).  Next start diablo and select what ever mode you want to play.  If you selected multi player you DO NOT NEED to get a game to start the hacks.  Press ALT+TAB on your key board and place diablo in the back ground.  Now start dahck and open the dat file you have in your diablo directory.  Double click on the cheats you want to use and you are cheating.  You do not need to close dhack when you are finished it will not cause any lag.  All you need to do now is click on the diablo button at the bottom of your screen to remove diablo from the back ground.

You can start these cheats anytime, in a game or in chat.  	But to turn them off you must quit diablo and restart the game.

These cheats will not work with a shareware version of diablo, at least not that I know of but I do not test them on shareware either.
