The protection scheme for MS word is quite good. The last track
|
|||
|
|
is formatted with 256 byte sectors. One sector, however, has
|
|||
|
|
an ID that says it is a 1K sector. If you try to read it as a 256
|
|||
|
|
byte sector, you'll get a sector not found. You can read it as a
|
|||
|
|
1K sector with a guaranteed CRC error, and you will get the data
|
|||
|
|
and other sector overhead from 3+ sectors. They read it as 1K, and
|
|||
|
|
use the bytes after the first 256 for decryption. These bytes
|
|||
|
|
constitute the post-amble of the sector, the inter-sector gap, and
|
|||
|
|
the preamble to the next 256 byte sector. If it's not formatted
|
|||
|
|
with the correct inter-sector gap, it wont work.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The best way around this is to modify the MWCOPY program so it
|
|||
|
|
will let you make more than one copy. The below mods will let
|
|||
|
|
you make as many backups as you want (and you can leave the
|
|||
|
|
write protect tab on your master disk). Of course, this method
|
|||
|
|
should only be used by registered owners of Word. If you, or any
|
|||
|
|
of your IMF force is killed, the secretary will disavow any
|
|||
|
|
knowledge of these patches.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We will copy MWCOPY to another disk, using another name (MWCP) so
|
|||
|
|
you'll know it's the special version, and then modify MWCP.

B>mwcp (try making a copy..remember,
|
|||
|
|
leave the write-protect on the master)
|
|||
|
|
(Just follow the prompts in the program, except when they ask
|
|||
|
|
you to remove the write protect tab)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I think this will also work for the hard disk copy portion. Another
|
|||
|
|
way to unprotect Word gets rid of the need for any weird disk formats.
|
|||
|
|
But it is MUCH more complicated to do. Enjoy!
