- PROUNLOK is a ONE-TIME process to remove Prolok from your program.
- It is an improvement over and replaces PROKEY.COM (a resident program).
- Using DBASE as an example:
-
- 1. Isolate PROUNLOK.COM and DBASE.EXE onto a separate subdirectory
- or floppy. You don't need the original floppy to run this.
-
- 2. Type PROUNLOK DBASE
-
- If everything works ok you will wind up with a DBASE.EXE that's
- about 6K smaller and minus the Vault (Prolok) code. It's the .EXE
- the publisher started with. You can copy and run it as you like.
-
- Has been tested with dBase III, Framework and Realia COBOL.
- If it doesn't work on your program, there are two possibilities:
- 1. Your program isn't protected by Prolok. Do a TYPE on the
- .EXE file. Vault always puts their copyright notice in the
- first 200-300 bytes in plaintext (unencrypted). Note that
- Ashton-Tate is no longer using Prolok.
- 2. Vault has changed their code again. Continue looking for an
- unprotect that works.
-
- Kudos to the Lone Victor (PROLOK.UNP) for finding the right intercept
- point. I automated the process.
-
- If my program works for you and you feel it's worth a contributation,
- I would suggest $25.
