Morning Paper v1.31 *patcher*
Eliminates nags and expiration
Get program here: http://www.boutell.com/morning/http/morndst.exe
ftp://ftp.boutell.com/pub/boutell/morning/morndst.exe
Author's homepage: http://www.boutell.com/
What is it? See the *morning.txt* file in the zip
Instructions: Unzip the patcher (mpap31-c.exe) into the directory
where you installed the program. Then just double click
on this file. You will see a DOS window pop up and some
text appear in the window. You'll be asked if you want to
apply the patch. Press "Y" for yes and "N" for no. The patcher
checks file size, so if you have the wrong version, you'll get an
error message. Make sure the size of your 'morning.exe' file is
exactly 148,992 bytes. This patcher will NOT automatically
create a backup of the executable file so you should do this
manually before you run the patch.
When you're done, you may delete the patch file (mpap31-c.exe)
When you run the program the next time, hit the "UNLOCK" button
on the nag screen and enter any code and it will be accepted.
You'll then need to shut down and restart the program in order
for the program to behave in a registered fashion.
What the patch does: Patches the program executable. Patching is process
that involves changing the value of some of the program
bytes in a way that "neutralizes" or bypasses the
program's protection.
Notes: Most minor program releases such as this one (v1.30 --> v1.31) will
not incorporate any new shareware protection schemes. Creating a new
crack for this subrelease requires very little skill. Basically, just
find the byte sequence that was changed by the earlier patcher (by
comparing a patched and unpatched copy of the file). Then search for
that string in the executable of the new version, and make the same
changes to it. Doesn't always work but VERY often it does. I refer
to this as "transplanting" a patch. Others may see it differently :p
In this case, the patching was done by a member of Phrozen Crew. For
those interested in hexing the file themselves, see the GIF file for
a graphical comparison of the pertinent code.
Patched using Cheat Engine patcher. Thanks PC ;-)
