Homeword, by On-line systems, is a fantastic word processor, which is both
|
|||
|
|
well doccumented and easy to use. It is the first word processor, to my
|
|||
|
|
knowledge, to incorporate icons at all menu prompts. It comes with a cassette
|
|||
|
|
which helps in teaching you how to use the program. The de-protection is fairly
|
|||
|
|
simple, and like the Xerox series, requires only a sector editor. If you do
|
|||
|
|
not know how to use the Inspector sector editor, the docs can be found on
|
|||
|
|
Sherwood Forest ///.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
=> Read Track 10, Sector A.
|
|||
|
|
=> Change byte $00 from $CE to $60
|
|||
|
|
=> Write Track 10, Sector A back to disk
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This does the exact same thing as the Xerox de-protecting. Note that $CE stands
|
|||
|
|
for DEC (DECrement accumulator). By replacing it with $60, RTS (ReTurn from
|
|||
|
|
Subroutine), you are replacing the first byte of the nibble count routine, and
|
|||
|
|
telling it to jump back to the main program, without executing the nibble count
|
|||
|
|
at all. If the nibble count were to be executed the program would crash,
|
|||
|
|
re-boot, or freeze up.
