HOW TO UNPROTECT THE PRINTSHOP BY BRODERBRUND Software
First, make a copy of the original PrintShop disk. Use COPY *.*, not
diskcopy. NEVER, EVER, attempt these changes on your original diskette!
Now, using a Disk Zap utility such as Norton Utilities on the copy, search
for the following hexadecimal byte strings and make the changes indicated.
First, search the file PSINIT.OVR:
Search for: 06 56 57 B1 01 B4 04 B6 00
Change to: B8 00 00 C3 xx xx xx xx xx (xx indicates don't care!)
Search for: E8 53 00 85 C0 75 10
Change to: E8 53 00 85 C0 90 90
Search for: E8 4A 00 85 C0 74 30
Change to: E8 4A 00 85 C0 EB 30
Write these changes to disk.
Next, search the file PS.EXE:
Search for: B2 00 B0 01 CD 13
Change to : B2 00 B0 01 90 90
Search for: B1 0A B0 01 B4 04 CD 13
Change to: B1 0A B0 00 B4 04 90 90
Write these changes to disk.
This completes the unprotection of PRINTSHOP. Note, however, that due
to sloppy programming on the part of Broderbrund, PRINTSHOP still
expects to be in drive A:. If you put it on a hard disk or ram disk, you
will have do do an ASSIGN statement such as:
ASSIGN A=C
prior to running PRINTSHOP. Remember to unASSIGN afterwards!
LET THERE BE SOFTWARE!
