- HOW TO UNPROTECT "BRUSHWORK" by West End Film (version 2.43)
-
- (1) First, make a copy of the original disk. NEVER, EVER, fool around
- with your only working copy of a program!!!
-
- (2) This will take repeated searches with a disk zapper such as Norton.
-
- (or FM included on this disk. - Public Brand Software)
-
- Search the file PAINT.EXE. Note that all bytes are in hexadecimal.
-
- A. Search for the byte string: A0 83 15 30 E4. Change it to:
- B8 62 00 30 E4
-
- -> This forces PAINT to see the letter "b" of its signature, even if
- no "b" is there...
-
- B. Search for the byte string: 80 FC 10 1F 58 75 03. Change to:
- 80 FC 10 1F 58 90 90
-
- -> This causes PAINT to believe that the expected diskette error has
- occurred, even if it hasn't.
-
- C. Search for the byte string: B4 3D CD 21 73 03. Change to:
- B8 02 00 90 90 90
-
- -> This prevents a diskette check.
-
-
- D. Search for the byte string: 9C 0E E8 17 00. Change to:
- 9C 0E 90 90 90
-
- -> This prevents one of the two accesses of the copy-protect tracks.
-
- E. Search for the byte string: 9C 0E E8 03 00. Change to:
- 9C 0E 90 90 90
-
- -> This prevents the second access of the copy-protect tracks.
-
-
- F. Search for the byte string: 72 02 33 C0 C3. Change to:
- 90 90 33 C0 C3
-
-
- G. Search for the byte string: 3B 06 F9 10 74 1E and change it to:
- 3B 06 F9 10 EB 1E
-
- -> This makes PAINT think that it has seen the proper graphics board
- signature byte.
-
-
- BRUSHWORK is now unprotected. Have fun, kids!
-
- LET THERE BE SOFTWARE!
