FOR THE USERS THAT HAVE 'XENOCOPY PLUS' V 1.09
------------------------------------------
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 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... ( J P TO HIS FRIENDS) ORLANDO FLA.
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 DOMAIN.. ENOUGH SAID.. THANK YOU.
IF YOU HAVE A HARD DISK OR WANT TO CREATE A BACKUP COPY THAT IS NOT
TIED INTO THE XENOCOPY DISKETTE...IN CASE YOUR ONLY COPY GOES BAD
.. THIS PATCH WILL PARTIALLY REMOVE THE COPY PROTECTION ...
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.
THIS WRITE UP ASSUMES THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH DEBUG,
1). PLACE 'XENOCOPY' ORIGINAL DISK IN THE 'A' DRIVE
2). ENTER A>C:DEBUG XENOCOPY.COM

4) 'XENO.COM' MAY NOW BE COPIED TO XENOCOPY.COM OR LEFT ON THE HARD DISK
5) REPEAT STEPS 1 THRU 4 FOR 'XENOWRIT.COM', SUBSTITUTING FOR 'XENOCOPY.COM'
WHERE NECESSARY, ALSO 'XENO.COM' NEEDS TO BE A NEW NAME SUCH AS 'WRIT.COM'.
NOTES:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) THE FEBRUARY VERSION OF 'COPYWRIT' WILL MAKE A GOOD COMPLETE BACKUP COPY
OF THE 'XENOCOPY PLUS' DISK.
2) VERSION 1.16 OF 'COPYIIPC' WILL MAKE A BACKUP COPY BUT LOSES SOME OF
THE COPY PROTECTION IN THE PROCESS. THE ABOVE MODS WILL ALLOW FOR THE
LOST COPY PROTECTION TRACKS.
3) THE MAIN REASON FOR THIS WORK WAS THAT 'XENOCOPY' WOULD NOT COME UP
USING A 'TEAC' HALF - HEIGHT DRIVE, BUT AFTER THE MODS WILL (SEEMS TO)
RUN ON A 'TEAC' HALF-HEIGHT.
4). THESE MODS MAKE ALL THE CODE DECRYPTED AND AVAIL. FOR INSPECTION,
SO SOME SHARP PERSONS CAN PERSUE THE COMPLETE REMOVAL OF THE COPY
PROTECTION.
(A) THE TWO `.EXE' FILES ARE THE PROGRAMS LOADED FROM 'XENOCOPY.COM'
AND 'XENOWRIT.COM'. THEY SEEM TO BE WRITTEN AS 512 BYTE SECTORS,
WITH SECTOR IDS '119 TO 126', SO IF THEY COULD BE READ AND COPIED
TO 512 BYTE '1 TO 8' SECTORS AND THE 'XENO' PGMS MODIFIED TO READ
THE NEW FORMAT FILES, ALL THE COPY PROTECTION WOULD (JUST GUESSING)
BE REMOVED.
5). WHEN YOU DO THE BACKUP OPTION, THERE IS A HIDDEN FILE 'BACKUP.COM'
THAT IS USED.
6). AS ALWAYS, THESE UNPROTECT PROCEDURES ARE TESTED AS MUCH AS TIME WILL
PERMIT, AN EXTENSIVE TEST OF MODIFIED VERSIONS ARE LEFT UP TO THE USER.
PLEASE LEAVE ANY PROBLEMS FOUND ON THE ORIGINAL BBS'S (SEE INTRO),
ADDRESSED TO THE 'A.S.P.. THANKS.
7). THE PUBLIC DOMAIN 'ULTRA' UTILITIES HELP IN ANALYZING THE DISKS.
ENJOY YOUR NEW FOUND FREEDOM..HARD DISKS FOREVER!!!!!
