There are two versions (at least) of Lotus 123 called Release 1A
identified by an "*" that displays on the first screen under
the "s" in the word "Release"
Release 1A
*
To unprotect these versions so they can be run on a hard disk
without requiring the SYSTEM DISK in drive A, do the following:
1. RENAME 123.EXE 123.XYZ
2. DEBUG 123.XYZ
3. Determine which version you have by the following steps:
a. Type U AB8C press ENTER
b. Type U AEC4 press ENTER
Under one address or the other you should see MOV CX,0002
If you don't, something is different. See below for another chance.
Using the MOV CX,0002 address from above in place of XXXX, do the below:
4. Type E XXXX C3 press ENTER
5. Type W
6. Type Q
7. RENAME 123.XYZ 123.EXE
That's it. It 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.
If MOV CX,0002 was not at either address, type in:
S 100 EFFF CD 13 press ENTER
debug will return an address. Using that address in place of XXXX, enter
U XXXX press ENTER
Two lines below INT 13 you should see MOV CX,0002
use this address in step 4.
If this doesn,t work, they have changed it again and you're on your own.
To bypass the initial logo on the versions above, do the below:
1. Type E 049D 90 90 90
2. Type E 04C8 90 90 90
GOOD LUCK!
