- recently bought a copy of Sierra On-Line's "Homeword" word processor for
- my kids. They just can't master DisplayWrite yet. It is a nice for the
- price program. BUT, wouldn't you know, it's protected, with no
- provision for backup other th an $15 and "we'll mail a new disk". Fat
- chance! There is no way the kids won't destroy the disk. So, to
- unprotect Homeword, first format a new system disk, then copy all the
- Homeword files to it.
-
- Next, rename the Homeword program file HWCOMP.EXE to HWCOMP.TMP.
- With Dos in drive A: and the new Homeword Disk in drive B: enter
- debug b:hwcomp.tmp (CR)
- e cs:59f eb 05 (CR)
- w (CR)
- q (CR)
- Now, rename HWCOMP.TMP to HWCOMP.EXE
- That should do it. At least it worked for me on version 1.0
