- REMOVE LICENSE SCREEN FROM FW 1.1
-
- For those of you who have used the now-famous unprotection scheme to
- remove the softguard protection from FrameWork 1.1 (for your own peace
- of mind of course), here's a way to get rid of that annoying licensing
- screen which first comes up and won't go away until RETURN is pressed.
-
- 1-Rename the FW.EXE to something else (FW.TMP)
- 2-DEBUG FW.TMP
- 3-write down the CS register value (R <cr>)
- 4-add 1FCC to this value
- 5-unassemble XXXX:D54B where XXXX is the sum of CS and 1FCC
- You should see INT 16
- 6-Replace this instruction with MOV AL,0D
- A XXXX:D54B <cr>
- MOV AL,0D <cr> <cr>
- 7-Write the file back to disk (W <cr>)
- 8-Quit (Q <cr>)
- 9-Rename FW.TMP to FW.EXE
-
- The credit for this one belongs to Dave P. Enjoy your new
- freedom.
