FOR THE USERS THAT HAVE 'TK!SOLVER' VERSION TK-1(2J)/PC-DOS
-------------------------------------------------------------------
FROM : THE A.S.P ; (Against Software Protection)
ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED TO ASA FULTONS BBS (THE SHINING SUN -305 273-0020)
AND TO
WHIT WYANTS BBS ( -203-966-8869)
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE UNPROTECT PROCEDURES INVOLVE FROM 4 HOURS TO
___________________________________________________________________
40 OR MORE HOURS ( 18+ HOURS FOR 'TK!' ) 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)
IF YOU HAVE A HARD DISK OR WANT TO CREATE A BACKUP COPY THAT IS NOT
TIED INTO THE 'TK!' DISKETTE...IN CASE YOUR ONLY COPY GOES BAD
.. THIS PATCH WILL REMOVE THE COPY PROTECTION COMPLETELY.... AS WELL
AS LET TK! RUN AS A STAND ALONE PROGRAM (AS WAS DONE WITH VISICALC).
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 LICENSE 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.
FIRST OF ALL WHEN I REFER TO THE "B:" DRIVE , IF U HAVE A HARD DISK U
CAN SUBSTITUTE THE APPROPRIATE DRIVE LETTER FOR THE "B:" DRIVE. I ALSO ASSUME
THAT THE ORIGINAL "TK!" IS IN THE "A:" DRIVE.
1). FORMAT 1 SYSTEM DISK UNDER DOS 2.0 OR 2.1
2). LABEL IT ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL 'TK!' DISKETTE
3). COPY THE (UNHIDDEN) FILES FROM THE ORIGINAL DISKETTE TO THE CORRESPONDING
2.X FORMATTED DISKETTE
4). PUT THE ORIGINAL 'TK!' DISKETTE IN THE "A:" DRIVE
5). COPY CON: B:SOFTARTS.(C)
ENTER :THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
PRESS :CNTL-Z THEN ENTER
YOU SHOULD SEE: 1 FILE(S) COPIED MESSAGE
THIS TAKES CARE OF THE HIDDEN FILES.
6). I WONT TELL U HOW TO USE DEBUG OR ANY 'PATCHER' PROGRAMS
ON THE BBS'S, I ASSUME U HAVE A BASIC UNDERSTANDING.
7). FIRST I ASSUME U HAVE DEBUG.COM ON A RAM OR C: OR B: DRIVE .
8). ENTER >DEBUG
ENTER -N A:TK.COM
-F CS:100 L EFFF 0
-L
-N B:TK2.COM
-R CX
:EFFF

-Q
9). ENTER >B:DEBUG B:TK2.COM
ENTER -E 951 90 90 90 'THIS DISABLES BREAK POINT
-E 957 90 90 90 ' AND SINGLE STEP OVERIDES
-E 511 CC
NOTE: THE ORIGINAL TK! SHOULD NOW BE IN THE "A:" DRIVE
-G
NOTE: PROGRAM SHOULD STOP AT CS:511
WHAT WE DID WAS LET TK! READ ALL THE OTHER PIECES OF HIMSELF
FROM THE VARIOUS DISK SECTORS (THE GOOD AND BAD SECTORS),
DO ALL THE DECRYPTING AND SET UP ALL AREAS OF HIMSELF,
IN OTHERWORDS WE LET HIM DO ALL THE WORK FOR US. WE DIDNT
EVEN HAVE TO FOOL WITH BAD TRACKS, OR ANY DECRYPTING OURSELVES
OH THE REASON FOR WRITING TK2.COM WITH LENGTH OF "EFFF"
WAS TO RESERVE THIS PROGRAM AREA SIZE SO WHEN TK! RAN HE
WOULD BUILD ALL HIS ROUTINES IN "OUR" PROTECTED PROGRAM AREA,
THEN DONT U SEE WE CAN SAVE TK2.COM AS TK3.COM WITH ALL THE
TK! SAFELY STORED IN OUR PROTECTED TK2 MEMORY AREA.

PRESS THE "ENTER" SINCE TK! IS WAITING ON IT
NOTE: TK! SHOULD NOW COME UP AS IT NORMALLY WOULD
NOW REBOOT THE SYSTEM WITH A DOS SYSTEM DISK IN A DRIVE.
------
10). ENTER >B:DEBUG B:TK3.COM
ENTER -E 951 E8 46 FF ;RESTORE CNTL-BREAK,BREAKPOINT
-E 957 E8 51 FF
WHAT WE WILL DO NEXT IS BYBASS ALL THE SECTOR READ CODE, DECRYPT LOGIC
SINCE TK! HAS ALREADY DONE THAT ONCE AND PUT IT IN OUT PROTECTED PROGRAM
AREA THAT WE SAVED AS TK3.COM.
(CODE THAT SHOULD BE GENERATED)

'PRESS ENTER TO START" IS NOW BEING BYPASSED.
IF ALL WENT WELL U NOW HAVE UNPROTECTED, DECRYPTED, STANDALONE
VERSION OF TK!SOLVER.....
NOTE: NOW ALL OF 'TK!' COPY PROTECTION IS REMOVED, AND U MAY DISKCOPY
(OR COPY) AND RENAME TK4.COM TO TK.COM TO ANY WHERE IN THE SYSTEM
YOUR LITTLE HEART DESIRES.
OTHER NOTES:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1). CHECKS FOR SPECIALLY FORMATTED TRACKS COMPLETELY REMOVED
2). 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
3). SOMEONE WANTED TO KNOW WHY I USED UPPER CASE FOR EVERYTHING. FIRST
AFTER ABOUT 8 TO 20 HOURS OF STARING AT THE TUBE., I AM NOT ABOUT
TO SHIFT THE CHARACTERS, AND SECONDLY I AM SO EXCITED , AFTER DOING
SOMETHING THAT AT FIRST SEEMED IMPOSSIBLE, AND IN A HURRY TO GET IT OUT
ON A BBS, SO THAT U MAY USE THE NEWLY GLEAMED KNOWLEDGE.
ENJOY YOUR NEW FOUND FREEDOM..HARD DISKS FOREVER!!!!!
