Handle id #9015 : Warlock
Can anyone tell for sure if the Warlock who cracked mainly at the end of 1986 and used that intro with the running wizard is this one or Tri-Dos? |

I'm pretty sure you got it right, i.e they are different sceners. Zyron and I did quite a lot of research about it a while ago. Check some releases for warlock/tri-dos for comments (some linked entries have been updated though, so it might be hard to follow)
Check the new release you added for any signs of confirming the current situation or disproving it... Memory dumps are your friend here. |

I'm still not 100% sure what's right or not concerning this but now it's a bit messed up with cracks using the two Warlock intros credited to both of the Warlocks... |

it's pretty simple.
the demos of tri-dos(warlock) are really from warlock/reflex cracking squad |

Please try again, you just stated the complete opposite as in your post before. |

Seeing as the "gut-feeling" approach to problem solving is so popular in the world today (yo George!), I figured I'd join in the fun.
This case seems pretty straight-forward, although admittedly the evidence from which I draw my conclusion is largely circumstantial.
All (?) the releases credited to Warlock (aka Tri-Dos) should be credited to Warlock. The releases credited to Tri-Dos's other aliases may very well be valid.
One clue can be obtained by looking at the fraction of Danish people greeted in the releases credited to Warlock, and comparing it to the fraction of Danish people greeted in Tri-Dos's early releases.
Tri-Dos Intro (which is not used before 1987) is probably just a rip-off of Warlock's original intro (used in several 1986 cracks), with new sprites and charset. Oh, and the sound which is looks like it was hacked on top of the original.
Forgive my daftness, but apart from this apparent rip-off and apart from the fact that someone named Warlock (namely Warlock, if you ask me) cracked Highlander, what is the connection between the name Warlock and Tri-Dos? |

You are correct on your question stated. The Warlock you
ask about is the old danish scener who knew Danish Crackers,
Ace, Sodan, Reflex, Heman, Sensei etc. from the early days
in the danish scene.
He later changes nick name to Warlock (around 86). He has
nothing to do with the english Warlock(Tri-dos).

Then who was The Highlander & were there two different groups called Tri-Dos? |

What do you mean, The Warlock changed his nick to Warlock? He omitted the "The", is all? |
