SideKick, like Turbo Pascal, is another super product from
Borland International. However, because SideKick is copy
protected, you cannot put it on your DOS disk and have it
automatically load when you boot up your system.
To unprotect SideKick so you can put it on your DOS disk or
hard disk without requiring the distribution disk in
drive A, do the following:
1. Place a disk with DEBUG.COM in drive A.
2. Place a standard formatted disk with SK.COM in drive B.
(SK.COM is the full SideKick system with all features included.)
3. At the A prompt, type: DEBUG B:SK.COM and press ENTER.
5. Type: U 727 and press ENTER.
You should see the following:
XXXX:0727 1F POP DS
XXXX:0728 59 POP CX
XXXX:0729 880E1300 MOV [0013],CL
XXXX:072D 0AC0 OR AL,AL
----> XXXX:072F 7403 JZ 0734
XXXX:0731 E9C0FE JMP 05F4
XXXX:0734 51 PUSH CX
XXXX:0735 B8D007 MOV AX,07D0
XXXX:0738 E8FE08 CALL 1039
XXXX:073B E8420A CALL 1180
XXXX:073E 59 POP CX
XXXX:073F E2BC LOOP 06FD
XXXX:0741 BAD604 MOV DX,04D6
XXXX:0744 E943FD JMP 048A
6. The instruction we are interested in is: JZ 0734
7. Type: E 72F 90 90 and press ENTER.
8. Type: W and press ENTER.
9. Type: Q and press ENTER.
That's it. SideKick will now run from any drive. As always,
this patch is provided so that honest people don't have to suffer
the inconvienences imposed upon them by software manufacturers.
