To Unprotect SAMNA WORD II Version 1.1 ---
|
||
|
||
Follow these procedures carefully and you will have an unprotected
|
||
version 1.1 of SAMNA WORD II that can be placed on a hard disk or
|
||
copied to a diskette.
|
||
|
||
1. Copy all the files from SAMNA DISK 1 to a formatted work disk or
|
||
hard disk volume. All files should be copied into the same directory
|
||
if using DOS 2.xx.
|
||
|
||
2. Copy all the files from SAMNA DISK 2 to the same work disk or hard
|
||
disk volume as in step 1.
|
||
|
||
Now, you will need to "patch" three programs on the working disk using
|
||
DEBUG.
|
||
|
||
3. Log onto the drive that contains the working disk (e.g. B: )
|
||
|
||
4. Have DEBUG on a disk or volume somewhere.
|
||
|
||
Patch SAMNA.COM -
|
||
each line below should be typed exactly as shown with the ENTER key after it.
|
||
|
||
5. DEBUG SAMNA.COM
|
||
6. E 5F1 90 90
|
||
7. E 14BE 90 90
|
||
8. W
|
||
9. Q
|
||
|
||
Patch FILE2 -
|
||
|
||
10. DEBUG FILE2
|
||
11. E C99 E9 43 5F
|
||
12. W
|
||
13. Q
|
||
|
||
Patch INSTALL.COM
|
||
|
||
14. DEBUG INSTALL.COM
|
||
15. E 1FEB 90 90
|
||
16. W
|
||
17. Q
|
||
|
||
Finished with the patches. The patch to INSTALL.COM is only needed to
|
||
install your type of printer.
|
||
|
||
INSTALLING THE PRINTER -
|
||
|
||
1. Log on to the drive containing your patched working SAMNA disk.
|
||
2. Place the SAMNA PRINTER DISK (a copy or write-protected original)
|
||
into another disk drive.
|
||
3. Type INSTALL
|
||
4. When it asks if you are INSTALLing or making a CHANGE, reply C.
|
||
5. When it asks for the drive that has the original SAMNA DISK, reply
|
||
with the letter of the drive that has the SAMNA PRINTER DISK.
|
||
6. When it asks for the drive that you are installing on, enter the
|
||
drive letter of the working SAMNA DISK.
|
||
7. Then you will be given a screen of printer choices. Choose the one
|
||
you want (refer to the SAMNA manual), and press ENTER.
|
||
8. That completes the printer installation.
|
||
(Files DEFAULT.PAR and SAMNA.OV7 are changed - The printer file is
|
||
copied from the printer disk and renamed to SAMNA.OV7 and the
|
||
file DEFAULT.PAR is changed)
|
||
|
||
That completes the unprotection. Remember, all files should be in
|
||
THE SAME DIRECTORY. This is different from the way SAMNA is set up to
|
||
work normally... i.e. the file SAMNA.COM is normally in the root
|
||
directory and the other files are in a sub-directory called SAMNA. This
|
||
works OK on floppies and hard disks but not on some networks.
|
||
|
||
|
||
I have found SAMNA WORD II to be a nice product but it's usefulness is
|
||
diminished by it's installation difficulty and copy-protection method.
|
||
This will make hard disk usage easier and backup/restore operations
|
||
more reliable.
