I pulled this logo elimination mod to IBM's PERSONAL EDITOR
from the Chicago BBS. I had some technical problems and was
unable to get the authors name. Trust he doesn't mind. I
tested it and it works great. Now if someone would only
come up with a way to make NOTABS the default and have the
PE stop stripping off trailing blanks !! Here is the
anti-logo patch:
The following changes will bypass the IBM logo displayed
when the PERSONAL EDITOR is initiated and go directly to the
edit screen:
1. copy PE.EXE to E.ZAP (DEBUG won't work on an .EXE file)
2. debug E.ZAP
3. change the bytes at the following offsets using E
d95 now is ff. Change to eb
d96 now is 36. Change to 2d
dda now is 78. Change to 0d
4. write e.zap back using the W command
5. rename e.zap to e.exe
6. initiate the editor using E instead of PE
7. of course, any filename could be used instead of e
---- detailed modification ----
A>copy pe.exe e.zap
1 File(s) copied
A>debug e.zap
-e d95
0A94:0D95 FF.eb
-e d96
0A94:0D96 36.2d
-e dda 0A94:0DDA
78.0d
-w
Writing B280 bytes
-q
A>ren e.zap e.exe
After this modification is applied, the Personal Editor
will go directly to the edit screen. Call it with E rather
than PE.
