17. HexEdit to the rescue - Ken Demarest

Back on Wing Commander 1 we were getting an exception from our EMM386
memory manager when we exited the game. We'd clear the screen and a
single line would print out, something like "EMM386 Memory manager
error. Blah blah blah." We had to ship ASAP. So I hex edited the error
in the memory manager itself to read "Thank you for playing Wing
Commander."

'course lots of you won't remember EMM386 but ...
