- Programs written in BASIC may be saved to disk in an encoded binary format
- which prevents the program from displaying a listing in response to the
- normal BASIC commands -- LIST -- LLIST -- or EDIT commands. This is
- accomplished by specifying a ,P after the program name as it is being
- saved. The program will run normally but is protected from alterations as
- well as from viewing the source material. IBM has not provided a method
- for unprotecting a program saved with the ,P option.
-
- It is possible to unprotect such a program with the use of the UNPROTEC
- utility. Follow these steps.
-
- 1. Load the protected program into memory.
- 2. Place disk containing the UNPROTEC utility in the active drive.
- 3. Enter the command.... BLOAD "UNPROTEC.BLD",&h464
- 4. Enter the command.... LIST
- 5. The program may now be listed and saved in the normal way.
