MESSAGE #11: LANGUAGE CARD

MSG LEFT BY: RICHARD BROWN

HERE'S A TIP TO LANGUAGE CARD USERS.
 
IF YOU PLAN TO USE A MODIFIED BASIC
LANGUAGE IN YOUR CARD, IT'S HELPFUL 
TO MODIFY THE PROMPT TO DISTINGUISH 
IT FROM THE NORMAL VERSION.
 
THE LOCATION OF THE APPLESOFT PROMPT
       IS $D440   ORIGINAL VALUE $DD
 
THE LOCATION OF THE  INTEGER  PROMPT
       IS $E2B9   ORIGINAL VALUE $BE
 
THE LOCATION OF THE  MONITOR  PROMPT
       IS $FF6A   ORIGINAL VALUE $AA
 
 
                  HAVE FUN
 
                  RICHARD BROWN

MESSAGE #13: CRACKING ATLANTIS

MSG LEFT BY: JOEL BRENNER

I READ THE MESSAGE ABOVE ON HOW
CRACK APVENTURE TO ATLANTIS.
THERE IS A MUCH EASIER WAY!!!!!
IT DEMUFFINS WITHOUT ANY PATCHES
NECESSARY!  THE ONLY CATCH IS
THAT YOU HAVE TO REMOVE DOS ON
THE DESTINATION DISK, BECAUSE
EVEN IN DOS 3.3 THERE WON'T BE
ENOUGH ROOM FOR ALL THE FILES!!
YOU WILL THEN HAVE TO BOOT DOS
FROM ANOTHER DISK, INSERT YOUR
ATLANTIS DISK AND "BRUN HELL0".
OR, YOU CAN DO WHAT I DID - 
REWRITE DOS TO USE TRACK 23, THEN
FREE UP SECTORS 6-16 ON TRACK
3, AND YOU'LL HAVE ABOUT 2 SECTORS
TO SPARE!!
BY THE WAY - OTHER PROGRAMS WHICH
WILL DEMUFFIN WITHOUT PATCHES
INCLUDE STARXHIP COMMANDER AND
MUMMY'S CURSE.
KEEP ON CRACKING!!!

MESSAGE #17: HOW TO CRACK FORMAT ][

MSG LEFT BY: BOZO NYC

HERE'S HOW YOU CAN CRACK THE NEW APPLE
DOS WORDPROCESSOR, FORMAT ][. THIS DISK
USES DUAL DIRECTORIES AND UNCOPYABLE
NIBBLE TRACKS (3&4).
 
USE SUPER DISK COPY 3, BRUTE FORCE, TO
COPY THE DISK.  YOU WILL GET 3 SECTOR
ERRORS ON TRACKS 3 & 4, BUT DON'T WORRY
BOOT THE COPY AND WAIT AT LEAST ONE
MINUTE SO THAT THE WHOLE PROGRAM HAS
BEEN LOADED, AND THE ENTIRE EXEC FILE
HAS BEEN EXECUTED.  AT THIS POINT THE
DISK WILL BE SPINNING, AND NOTHING WILL
BE HAPPENING. PRESS RESET (TWICE MAY BE
NECESSARY). TYPE: CALL-151 <CR>
THEN 9DBFG <CR> TO REHOOK DOS.
CATALOG THE DISK, AND YOU SHOULD SEE 4
FILES; TWO OF THEM ARE BINARY FILES OF
ABOUT 78 SECTORS. BLOAD THE FIRST ONE
(VIDEX VERSION), TYPE: CALL -151 <CR>
6800:4C 31 68 <CR>
BSAVE (USE THE SAME NAME),A$2000,L$4C00
THEN BLOAD THE OMNIVISION VERSION AND
REPEAT THE SAME PROCESS.
 
IF YOU WANT TO TRANSFER THE FILES TO A
STANDARD DISK, USE DEMUFFIN PLUS, OR
ANY OTHER METHOD YOU LIKE.  THERE ARE
A FEW PEEKS IN THE EXEC FILE THAT CHECK
TO SEE IF THE WEIRD DOS IS PRESENT, AND
THESE WILL HAVE TO BE CHANGED.
 
 
THE UTILITY DISK IS STANDARD DOS, AND
MAY BE COPIED WITH ANYTHING.
THE CRACKED DISK CAN BE COPIED WITH
COPY A OR SUPER DISK COPY (QUICK)
 
HAPPY CRACKING
 
BOZO



MESSAGE #18: PATCHING FORMAT ][

MSG LEFT BY: BOZO NYC


HERE'S SOME MORE INFO FOR FORMAT ][
USERS (CRACKERS?):
 
PATCH TO ELIMINATE NEED FOR HARDWARE
SHIFT KEY JUMPERS:

IF YOU ARE CONVERTING THE CRACKED PROG.
(SEE MY PREVIOUS MESSAGE) NOTE THAT
THERE IS EXTENSIVE ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE
REPATCHING REQUIRED TO CONVERT THE
SYSTEM TO WORK UNDER STANDARD DOS
WITH THE CATALOG ON TRACK $11.
 
THE PRINTER I/O, WHICH CAN BE PATCHED
TO CHANGE DEFAULTS, IS NOW LOCATED ON
TRACK $11.  IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE
THIS ROUTINE AVAILABLE TO THE MAIN
PROGRAM, EVEN IF YOU DON'T MODIFY
THE DEFAULTS, TO DO ANY PRINTING.
IT IS READ IN USING RWTS, AND IS
CALLED BY TRACK & SECTOR LOCATION,
RATHER THAN AS A FILE.
 
THE SERIAL # IS FOUND AT THE END OF
THE BASIC PROGRAM   FORMAT.BASIC
 
NOTE THAT REMOVING THE SHIFT KEY
WIRE REQUIREMENT (WITH MY PATCH
ABOVE) WILL REQUIRE YOU HAVE A
KEYBOARD ENHANCER TO ENTER ANY
LOWER CASE CHARACTERS
