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

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

OH, AS A FURTHER NOTE. I SEE SOME BBS'S ARE NOW CHARGING U TO BE REGISTERED

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'

|
|||
|
|

4) 'XENO.COM' MAY NOW BE COPIED TO XENOCOPY.COM OR LEFT ON THE HARD DISK
|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
5) REPEAT STEPS 1 THRU 4 FOR 'XENOWRIT.COM', SUBSTITUTING FOR 'XENOCOPY.COM'
|
|||
|
|
WHERE NECESSARY, ALSO 'XENO.COM' NEEDS TO BE A NEW NAME SUCH AS 'WRIT.COM'.

|
NOTES:
|
|||
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
1) THE FEBRUARY VERSION OF 'COPYWRIT' WILL MAKE A GOOD COMPLETE BACKUP COPY
|
|||
|
|
OF THE 'XENOCOPY PLUS' DISK.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2) VERSION 1.16 OF 'COPYIIPC' WILL MAKE A BACKUP COPY BUT LOSES SOME OF
|
|||
|
|
THE COPY PROTECTION IN THE PROCESS. THE ABOVE MODS WILL ALLOW FOR THE
|
|||
|
|
LOST COPY PROTECTION TRACKS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3) THE MAIN REASON FOR THIS WORK WAS THAT 'XENOCOPY' WOULD NOT COME UP
|
|||
|
|
USING A 'TEAC' HALF - HEIGHT DRIVE, BUT AFTER THE MODS WILL (SEEMS TO)
|
|||
|
|
RUN ON A 'TEAC' HALF-HEIGHT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4). THESE MODS MAKE ALL THE CODE DECRYPTED AND AVAIL. FOR INSPECTION,
|
|||
|
|
SO SOME SHARP PERSONS CAN PERSUE THE COMPLETE REMOVAL OF THE COPY
|
|||
|
|
PROTECTION.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(A) THE TWO `.EXE' FILES ARE THE PROGRAMS LOADED FROM 'XENOCOPY.COM'
|
|||
|
|
AND 'XENOWRIT.COM'. THEY SEEM TO BE WRITTEN AS 512 BYTE SECTORS,
|
|||
|
|
WITH SECTOR IDS '119 TO 126', SO IF THEY COULD BE READ AND COPIED
|
|||
|
|
TO 512 BYTE '1 TO 8' SECTORS AND THE 'XENO' PGMS MODIFIED TO READ
|
|||
|
|
THE NEW FORMAT FILES, ALL THE COPY PROTECTION WOULD (JUST GUESSING)
|
|||
|
|
BE REMOVED.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5). WHEN YOU DO THE BACKUP OPTION, THERE IS A HIDDEN FILE 'BACKUP.COM'
|
|||
|
|
THAT IS USED.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6). AS ALWAYS, THESE UNPROTECT PROCEDURES ARE TESTED AS MUCH AS TIME WILL
|
|||
|
|
PERMIT, AN EXTENSIVE TEST OF MODIFIED VERSIONS ARE LEFT UP TO THE USER.
|
|||
|
|
PLEASE LEAVE ANY PROBLEMS FOUND ON THE ORIGINAL BBS'S (SEE INTRO),
|
|||
|
|
ADDRESSED TO THE 'A.S.P.. THANKS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
7). THE PUBLIC DOMAIN 'ULTRA' UTILITIES HELP IN ANALYZING THE DISKS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ENJOY YOUR NEW FOUND FREEDOM..HARD DISKS FOREVER!!!!!
