Open up the PageMaker App itself with ResEdit (or your favorite Brand X resource editor)
and find the 'KXRX' resource. The net ID number is located between offsets 0A and
1F inclusive. You will find all of the bytes at these offsets have already been zeroed. Change them to whatever makes you happy (as long as it's unique for each machine
on the net).

Pagemaker Ser. # Removal:
To erase the serial number of Page Maker:
- Start Fedit
- Open File Page Maker
- Read sector 0 of the file
- At location $158 you will find a string like "xxxx 69xx xxxx 69xx xxxx
xxxx" which is the serial number. They, of course, encoded it but with a
simple key. They used the creator string "ALDU" and pass each letter in
turn to encode each number of the serial number.
Ex.:
$71 XOR $41 (A) = $30 (0)
$7E XOR $4C (L) = $32 (2)
$69 XOR $44 (D) = $2D (-)
and so on...
- If you just change the numbers to put out a 00-000-00000, the program bombs
out of its skull.
- A little more digging uncovers the preceding two bytes. $156 is the address
where the serial number check begins. It is normally a $0D so the checking
doesn't begin until the 6th number ($15D) in the serial number string
(which starts at $158).
- $157 is the number of digits to print in the serial number box when the
program starts. If the number is less then $0C (original number), the
string "Serial number" before the actual number doesn't get printed.
- So, to turn the number to 00-000-00000:
* Read sector 0 of the Page Maker file
* Go to byte $156
* Hex modify: 0D0C XXXX 69XX XXXX 69XX XXXX XXXX
To: 140C 717C 6965 717C 6965 717C 7465
* Write the sector back
