97
NOTE: Even though all targets have the same addresses now, future targets may not.
98

99
To find a target:
100

101
1. open "core.dll" in IDA Pro
102
2. navigate to the "c_wildcmp" function
103
3. follow the xref to the first strlen
104
4. follow the xref to the imports area
105
5. copy/paste the address
106
6. the 'Writable' value should be anything after the last address IDA shows..
107
  (preferably something above 0x0d, to avoid bad chars)
108

109
If crashes occur referencing strange values, 'NumPops' probably needs adjusting.
110
For now, that will have to be done manually.
