DOLLARS & SENSE
(v2.07, Monogram release, Sept, 1985 and v2.00
[16C], Monogram release, Dec, 1985)
Unprotection Instructions for Hard Disk
Allows use on Hard Disk without Master Boot disk in Drive A:
(Requires Norton Utilities v3.10)
December 22, 1985
Read ALL instructions before starting unprotection!
Make a backup of the file DSBOOT.$BT before you begin the unprotection
procedure. If you do make a mistake, you can always restore the
original file.
Run Norton Utilities (NU) from Dollars & Sense directory. Type [2]
[1] [3], move cursor to DSBOOT.$BT, [ENTER], [7], [ENTER], [ENTER],
[ENTER], [TAB], B9 01 27 BA 00 00 CD, [ENTER], [ENTER].
After the beep, press [SPACE].
At the top right of screen it should say: For v2.07:"Cursor at
offset 447, hex 1BF", for v2.00[16C]:"Cursor at offset 443, hex
1BB". You should also see three "CD 13"'s one on top of the next
at the cursor position. These are where you will start entering
90's.
1. Enter "90" seven times without a break starting at the first
"CD 13" (v2.07: offset 447, hex 1BF, v2.00[16C]: offset 443, hex
1BB).
2. Enter "90" seven times without a break starting at the second
"CD 13" (v2.07: offset 471, hex 1D7, v2.00[16C]: offset 467, hex
1D3).
3. Enter "90" twelve times without a break starting at the third
"CD 13" (v2.07: offset 495, hex 1EF, v2.00[16C]: offset 491, hex
1EB).
Top of screen should now say: For v2.07: "Cursor at offset
507, hex 1FB", for v2.00[16C]: "Cursor at offset 503, hex 1F7"
Now press [ESC], [ENTER], [ESC], [ESC], [ESC].
You have now removed the check for a key disk in drive A: from Dollars
& Sense.
Be sure to make modifications AFTER you've made a backup of
DSBOOT.$BT. Do NOT Make A Mistake! If you do make a mistake and
can't recover easily, nothing will have been changed until after you
type [ESC] [ENTER]. Just type several [ESC]'s to abort the program
and start over.
Finally, I am not sure that this unprotection procedure is complete.
If the program makes a check that I haven't found, the program may
crash. Although this hasn't happened to me, there is always the small
possibility that it may.
