There is another version of Lotus 123 also called Release 1A
|
|||
|
|
but with a different copy-protection technique. It can be
|
|||
|
|
identified by an "*" that displays on the first screen under
|
|||
|
|
the "s" in the word "Release"
|
|||
|
|
Release 1A
|
|||
|
|
*
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To unprotect this version so it can be run on a hard disk
|
|||
|
|
without requiring the SYSTEM DISK in drive A, do the following:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. RENAME 123.EXE 123.XYZ
|
|||
|
|
2. DEBUG 123.XYZ
|
|||
|
|
3. Type U AB8C press ENTER
|
|||
|
|
You should see MOV CX,0002
|
|||
|
|
if you don't, something is different and this won't work.
|
|||
|
|
4. Type E AB8C C3 press ENTER
|
|||
|
|
5. Type W
|
|||
|
|
6. Type Q
|
|||
|
|
7. RENAME 123.XYZ 123.EXE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
That's it. It will now run from any drive. As always, this patch
|
|||
|
|
is provided so that honest people don't have to suffer the
|
|||
|
|
inconvienences imposed upon them by software manufacturers.
