|
|
|

ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED TO ASA FULTONS BBS (THE SHINING SUN -305-273-0020)

|
|
SINGLE STEPPING THRU CODE AND FIGURING OUT THE
|
|||

INTENT OF THE ORIGINAL CODE.. SO I WOULD APPRECIATE IT WHEN U PASS
|

|
|
|

|
|
THIS ON TO OTHER BOARDS YOU DO NOT ALTER THIS OR TRY TO TAKE CREDIT
|

|
|

|
|
FOR MY LOST SLEEP.... THE A.S.P... (J.P. TO HIS FRIENDS)
|

|
|
|

|
|
OH, AS A FURTHER NOTE. I SEE SOME BBS'S ARE NOW CHARGING U TO BE REGISTERED
|
|||
|
|
TO USE THEIR SYSTEM. FIRST OF ALL I GIVE U FROM 4 TO 60 HOURS OF MY TIME
|
|||
|
|
AT NO COST TO YOU AND I DO NOT LOOK TO KINDLY TO SUCH BBS'S PUTTING ON
|
|||
|
|
MY PROCEDURES AND THEN CHARGING U TO GET ACCESS TO THEM. THEY DIDNT SPEND
|
|||
|
|
TIME AND COST (SAY 'X' HOURS * $40+) TO MAKE THE PROCEDURES AVAIL. , SO
|
|||
|
|
I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT SUCH BOARDS DID NOT USE ANY OF THE 'A.S.P'S'
|
|||
|
|
PROCEDURES, UNLESS THEY ARE WILLING TO PUT THEIR WORKS TRULY IN THE
|
|||
|
|
PUBLIC DOMAIN.. ENOUGH SAID.. THANK YOU.

OTHER NOTES:
|
|||
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1). CHECKS FOR SPECIALLY FORMATTED TRACKS COMPLETELY REMOVED
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2). U MAY LOAD ALL THE FILES ON THE NEWLY FORMATTED AND UNPROTECTED
|
|||
|
|
DISKETTE DIRECTLY TO HARD OR RAM DISK, IN ANY SUB-DIRECTORY U
|
|||
|
|
SET UP
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3). SOMEONE WANTED TO KNOW WHY I USED UPPER CASE FOR EVERYTHING. FIRST
|
|||
|
|
AFTER ABOUT 8 TO 20 HOURS OF STARING AT THE TUBE., I AM NOT ABOUT
|
|||
|
|
TO SHIFT THE CHARACTERS, AND SECONDLY I AM SO EXCITED , AFTER DOING
|
|||
|
|
SOMETHING THAT AT FIRST SEEMED IMPOSSIBLE, AND IN A HURRY TO GET IT OUT
|
|||
|
|
ON A BBS, SO THAT U MAY USE THE NEWLY GLEAMED KNOWLEDGE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4) ALSO IN SOME CASES THE PROGRAM STILL TRIES TO GO TO THE "A" AND "B"
|
|||
|
|
DRIVES, SO I USED AN ASSIGN TO ASSIGN THEM TO THE 'C'. THIS PROBABLY CAN
|
|||
|
|
BE OVERCOME WITH THE CORRECT CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ENJOY YOUR NEW FOUND FREEDOM..HARD DISKS FOREVER!!!!!
