- How To Unprotect: Electric Desk 1.04 JRE
- ==========================================================================
-
- This information is provided to allow legal owners of the
- above software to liberate themselves from the dependance of a
- single floppy diskette.
-
- Using the below patches, you will be able to make unlimited
- backups of the floppy, but more importantly, be able to boot the
- entire system off a hard disk.
-
- The copy protection method used on this program expects an
- unusually formatted Track 9. The easiest way around this was to
- bypass the entire 'Verify Track 9' routine.
-
- I assume that you are familiar with DEBUG (found on the 2nd
- DOS diskette). Everything displayed below in upper-case will be
- supplied by the computer; you must type everything that is in
- lower-case. Note that the '-' is DEBUG's prompt and should not
- be typed. Make a copy of the file 'ELECTRIC.EXE'; never work
- with you only copy. Place the program diskette in Drive A,
- and Debug in Drive B.
-
- /------ Comments -------------------
- A> ren electric.exe electric | Debug can't resave an EXE file
- A> b:debug electric | Enter Debug
- -r cs | Get CS from debug (always different)
- CS XXXX | Add 2000 to the number returned
- | by DEBUG. This becomes yyyy.
- : <return key> | Example: CS 2502, + 2000 = 4502 (yyyy)
- -s yyyy:0 ff00 b8 00 bf 78 | Use above calculated yyyy in this line.
- YYYY:D145 | DEBUG should return this number. If not,
- | you have a different vers & should quit.
- -e yyyy:d145 e9 b0 00 00 | Tell prog to skip copy prot. routine.
- -w | Save the program with the changes.
- Writing 2D230 bytes | DEBUG displays this message.
- -q | Exit DEBUG
- A> ren electric electric.exe | REName the file to it's original name
-
-
- Thats It. Use 'COPY A:*.* B:' to move all files to a formatted
- diskette and you will have the whole system unprotected and copyable.
