- UNPROTECT PATCH FOR SIDEKICK VERSION 1.5
-
- BY
- STEVE SCHAUER
-
-
- Use the following steps to unprotect Sidekick Version 1.5. After
- modifying SK.COM the program will no longer look for the key disk
- in Drive A: and you can run the program off your hard disk alone.
-
-
- You should modify a COPY of SK.COM with DEBUG by entering the
- following commands:
-
- you enter: DEBUG SK.COM <CARRIAGE RETURN>
- A 089E <CARRIAGE RETURN>
-
- DEBUG responds with: XXXX:089E <XXXX CAN BE ANY NUMBER>
- you enter: NOP <CARRIAGE RETURN>
-
- DEBUG responds with: XXXX:089F
- you enter: NOP <CARRIAGE RETURN>
-
- DEBUG responds with: XXXX:08A0
- you enter: <CARRIAGE RETURN>
- A 08AD <CARRIAGE RETURN>
-
- DEBUG responds with: XXXX:08AD
- you enter: OR <TAB> AL,01 <CARRIAGE RETURN>
-
- DEBUG responds with: XXXX:08AF
- you enter: <CARRIAGE RETURN>
- W <CARRIAGE RETURN>
- Q <CARRIAGE RETURN>
-
- That's it! The modified version will now run as an unprotected copy
- of Sidekick.
-
-
- REMINDER: The instructions above enclosed in <BRACKETS> are not to
- be typed in; when it says <CARRIAGE RETURN> or <TAB>,
- you should press that key at that point. <You knew that,
- didn't you?>
-
-
-
- SECOND REMINDER: Fate being what it is, you did modify a copy of
- Sidekick and not the original, didn't you?
