- This file explains how to unprotect the Print Shop software package.
- The unprotecting process was developed after hours and hours of
- hard work by Marc Alexander.
-
- First copy DEBUG onto your Print Shop disk.
- Then enter the following commands...
-
- A>DEBUG PSINIT.OVR
- -E 26B EB
- -E 24D 90 90
- -W
- -Q
-
- The first line loads PSINIT.OVR (the file causing the trouble) into memor
- y.
- At the - prompt, the next line changes a conditional jump to a
- unconditional jump.
- The next line changes another conditional jump into a NO OPERATION statem
- ent.
- The next line writes the changes to the disk.
- And finally, the last line quits DEBUG.
-
- Finally, there is still one bad sector on the disk in a dummy hidden file
- .
- Use the COPY *.* A: B: command to copy each file to a clean disk.
- Using DISKCOPY will not work because it will attempt to copy the bad sect
- or.
-
- After doing all this, you will have an unprotected version of THE PRINT S
- HOP
- with no bad sectors.
-
- Of course this is for a personal back up and for transferring the program
-
- to hard disk. This method is not intended for the illegal copying of
- copy righted information.
