FOR THE USERS THAT HAVE 'HARVARD PROJECT MANAGER' V 1.16
-------------------------------------------------------------------
FROM : THE A.S.P ; (Against Software Protection)
ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED TO ASA FULTONS BBS (SHINING SUN - 305-273-0020
AND WHIT WYANTS BBS (PC-CONNECT - 203-966-8869
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE UNPROTECT PROCEDURES INVOLVE FROM 4 HOURS TO
___________________________________________________________________
40 OR MORE HOURS ( 10+ HOURS FOR 'HPM' v1.16 ) OF
SINGLE STEPPING THRU CODE AND FIGURING OUT THE
INTENT OF THE ORIGINAL CODE.. SO I WOULD APPRECIATE IT WHEN U PASS
THIS ON TO OTHER BOARDS YOU DO NOT ALTER THIS OR TRY TO TAKE CREDIT
FOR MY LOST SLEEP.... THE A.S.P... ORLANDO FLA. (J.P. TO HIS FRIENDS)
OH, AS A FURTHER NOTE. I SEE SOME BBS'S ARE NOW CHARGING U TO BE REGISTERED
TO USE THEIR SYSTEM. FIRST OF ALL I GIVE U FROM 4 TO 60 HOURS OF MY TIME
AT NO COST TO YOU AND I DO NOT LOOK TO KINDLY TO SUCH BBS'S PUTTING ON
MY PROCEDURES AND THEN CHARGING U TO GET ACCESS TO THEM. THEY DIDNT SPEND
TIME AND COST (SAY 'X' HOURS * $40+) TO MAKE THE PROCEDURES AVAIL. , SO
I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT SUCH BOARDS DID NOT USE ANY OF THE 'A.S.P'S'
PROCEDURES, UNLESS THEY ARE WILLING TO PUT THEIR WORKS TRULY IN THE
PUBLIC DOMAAIN.. ENOUGH SAID.. THANK YOU.
IF YOU HAVE A HARD DISK OR WANT TO CREATE A BACKUP COPY THAT IS NOT
TIED INTO THE 'HPM' DISKETTE...IN CASE YOUR ONLY COPY GOES BAD
.. THIS PATCH WILL REMOVE THE COPY PROTECTION COMPLETELY....
AS ALWAYS THIS IS FOR YOUR PERSONAL PEACE OF MIND ONLY
IT IS NOT MEANT TO BYPASS ANY COPYRIGHTS..YOU ARE BY LAW BOUND BY
YOUR PURCHASE LISCENSE AGREEMENT.
IF YOU HAVE A HARD DISK AND WANT TO PUT THE PROGRAM ON SUCH
WHY SHOULD YOU BE TIED TO A FLOPPY. YOU HAD TO GIVE UP A LOT OF
'BIG MACS' TO GET YOUR HARD DISK.
1). FORMAT 1 SYSTEM DISK UNDER DOS 2.0 OR 2.1 (1.1 SUPPORT WAS NOT INCLUDED)
2). LABEL IT ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL 'HPM' DISKETTES
3). COPY THE FILES FROM THE ORIGINAL DISKETTE TO THE CORRESPONDING
2.X FORMATTED DISKETTE
4). PLACE THE ORIGINAL 'HPM' DISKETTE BACK IN THE MANUAL
WE WILL NO LONGER USE THEM.
5). I WONT TELL U HOW TO USE DEBUG OR ANY 'PATCHER' PROGRAMS
ON THE BBS'S, I'LL JUST GIVE U THE CODE TO CHANGE.
6). FIRST WE WILL NEED TO CHANGE A PROGRAM CALLED 'HPM.EXE'
7). I USED THE DOS UTILITY 'COMP.COM' TO PRINT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE
FILES THAT WERE CHANGED.
NOTE: FILE 1 IS THE MODIFIED VERSION IN ALL CASES.

NOTE: NOW ALL OF 'HPM' COPY PROTECTION IS REMOVED, AND U MAY DISKCOPY
THE UNPROTECTED DISKS AS REQUIRED.
OTHER NOTES:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1). CHECKS FOR SPECIALLY FORMATTED TRACKS COMPLETELY REMOVED
2). ANY HARD CODED DRIVE ASSIGNMENTS COMPLETELY REMOVED
(ALL FILE REQUESTS, INCLUDING INITIAL LOAD FILES ,WILL LOAD
FROM THE CURRENT DEFAULT DRIVE)
3). U MAY LOAD ALL THE FILES ON THE NEWLY FORMATTED AND UNPROTECTED
DISKETTE DIRECTLY TO HARD OR RAM DISK, IN ANY SUB-DIRECTORY U
SET UP
4). U MAY CHANGE THE DEFAULT DRIVE AFTER RUNNING BY USING THE ' FILE UNIT'
OPTION. THIS EFFECTIVELY DOES A SELECT DISK TO WHAT EVER DRIVE U WANT.
5). THERE IS NO LONGER A START UP CHECK TO VERIFY THAT ALL THE 'HPM' FILES
ARE ON THE DEFAULT DRIVE.
6). THE SERIAL NUMBER , AT START UP , WILL DISPLAY AS '(INVALID)' BUT
THE PROGRAM WILL STILL RUN. YOU MAY USE DEBUG TO CHANGE THE STRING
'(invalid)' TO ANOTHER STRING IF U DONT LIKE IT.
7). WHEN U DID THE ORIGINAL COPY FROM THE 'HPM' DISKETTE TO THE DOS 2.X
FORMATTED DISK , A HIDDEN FILE IN THE ORIGINAL DIRECTORY CALLED,
'SERIAL.NO' WAS OF COURSE NOT COPIED. THE SERIAL NUMBER IS PUT IN THE
RESERVED DIRECTORY BYTES IMMEDIATLEY FOLLOWING THE NAME 'SERIAL NO'
IN THE HIDDEN DIRECTORY ENTRY. (NOTE: THIS IS AN ASSUMPTION FOR V1.16)
8). THERE IS NO LONGER A CHECK TO SEE THAT THE ORIGINAL PROTECTED 'HPM'
DISKETTE IS IN THE 'A' DRIVE WHEN U WANT TO WRITE A FILE (NEW OR OLD)
WHILE IN 'HPM'.
9). THESE MODIFICATIONS WERE BASED ON PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF VERSION 1.1
AND HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED EXTENSIVELY. YOU MIGHT WANT TO RUN BOTH THE
OLD AND NEW VERSIONS WITH THE SAME DATA FOR A PERIOD OF TIME TO
VERIFY THE MODIFICATIONS.
ENJOY YOUR NEW FOUND FREEDOM..HARD DISKS FOREVER!!!!!
