- How to Unprotect dBase III Plus 1.00
- by the Lone Victor
-
- This file tells how to remove the Softguard Superlok 2.03 copy
- protection from dBase III Plus version 1.00, on the file DBASE.LD1,
- 138752 bytes, dated 12/27/85 6:00. It will work with this file and
- no others. If it doesn't work, you probably have a different file.
-
- With this text file you should find a binary file DBASE.BIN.
- You will need this file, DEBUG, and your dBase System Disk #1.
-
- Make a new directory on your hard disk or format a new floppy.
- into this empty directory copy the following files from your dBase
- System Disk 1: CONFIG.DB, DBASE.LD1, DBASE.MSG, DBASEINL.OVL. Also
- include a copy of the file DBASE.BIN that comes with this text.
-
- Now, using DEBUG execute the following commands:
-
- debug dbase.ld1
- n dbase.bin
- l
- rbx <cr>
- BX 0000 ;debug response
- :2
- rcx
- CX 2E00 ;debug response
- :1e00
- w
- Writing 21e00 bytes ;debug response
- q
-
- rename dbase.bin dbase.exe
- del dbase.ld1
-
- You now have a complete working copy of dBase III Plus. There
- is no need to run the INSTALL and UNINSTALL programs. If you are
- working on a hard disk, also copy all files from System Disk 2 into
- your directory.
-
- If anyone has trouble with this copy of dbase.exe, please contact
- me on the Atlanta IBM-PCUG BBS at 404-433-0062.
