Enfircer did a number of things for you, including "enforcing" the sacredness of writing to low memory by fiddling with your MMU, if your Amiga had one, and posting alert boxes when predefined conditions triggered. There were a few places where one needed to run Enforcer just to do user tasks (like twiddling the cacheing of the 8MB Zorro-II memory space - required with the GG2 Bus+ for a variety of technical reasons), but most non-developer users never ran Enforcer, thus the only occurences of DEADBEEF or DEADC0DE would be if one ran some 3rd party application that happened to use it. -ethan
