- HOW TO UNPROTECT JAVELIN (version 1.1)
-
- First, make a copy of the Javelin Startup disk. NEVER, EVER, mess with
- your original disk!
-
- Next, using FM (on this disk) or Norton Utilities (NU) or even DEBUG,
- examine the file JAV0.OVL.
-
- Counting from the start of JAV0.OVL, look at sector 046. Sector 46, offset
- 368 (hex 170) contains an encripted serial number (5 bytes) and the "name"
- of the "user". If Javelin has not been installed, these bytes begin with 5
- zero bytes and the word "Javelin".
-
- Change the serial number to 5 bytes of 00 hex. Change the user to some
- interesting thing such as "Clyde the Elephant Inc."
-
- Save these changes to disk.
-
- Next, search the file JAV0.OVL for the following hexadecimal bytes:
-
- Search for: 55 8B EC 56 57 BE 10 00 BF 3E 1D B9 05 00
- Change to : 55 8B EC 56 57 BE 10 00 BF 3E 1D EB 0B 00
-
- Search for: 2C 0A 0C 30 32 06 43 1D 75 17 BE 15 00
- Change to: 2C 0A 0C 30 32 06 43 1D 90 90 BE 15 00
-
- Write both changes to the disk.
-
- This completes the unprotection of Javelin.
-
-
- LET THERE BE SOFTWARE!
