To unprotect "The Dambusters" from Accolade use the following debug
proceedure.
1) Copy DAMB.EXE to a formated blank diskette.
2) REN DAMB.EXE DAMB.BIN
3) DEBUG DAMB.BIN
4) Now search for the use of INT 13
-s 0000 FFFF CD 13
I found this call at 13BC:0116
You may find it at a different location, but as long as the number ends
in 16 you have the correct location. If it doesn't end with a 16 then
you may have a different version and this unprotect may not work.
5) Next look at the code after this call
-u XXXX:XX16
You should see the following:
XXXX:XX16 CD13 INT 13
XXXX:XX18 7306 JNB 0120
If this is different, you may have a different version. Stop now.
6) Now change the jump to an unconditional jump
-e XXXX:XX18 EB 06
7) Now write the changes back to disk and end the debug session
-w
-q
8) REN DAMB.BIN DAMB.EXE
9) Now place your original diskette in a safe place.
