HOW TO UNPROTECT "Brown Bag WordProcessor"="PC Write", by
Quicksoft
First, make a copy of your original disk. NEVER, EVER, mess with
the original (distribution) disk!
Using a disk search/zap utility such as the Norton Utilities,
search the file ED.EXE ON THE COPY OF YOUR DISK for the following bytes:
search for: B8 01 02 CD 13 ;a disk interrupt
change to: EB A4 02 CD 13 ;it'll never get to it!
Next,
Search for: 0A C0 74 05 C6 06 1E EF 01
Change to: EB 0C 74 05 C6 06 1E EF 01 ;skip the routine which
;tests for "correctness"
If these changes are successfully made to the ED.EXE file, PC WRITE (alias
Brown Bag Word Processor) will be fully unprotected. You'd think these guys
would wise up after a while--this took LESS THAN AN HOUR to figure out!...
LET THERE BE SOFTWARE!
