\RB\D25\EXECUVSN.UNPFOR THE USERS THAT HAVE 'EXECU-VISION' GRAPHICS PACKAGE FOR DOS 1.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
FROM : THE A.S.P ; (Against Software Protection)

ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED TO WHIT WYATTS BBS

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE UNPROTECT PROCEDURES INVOLVE FROM 4 HOURS TO
___________________________________________________________________

40 OR MORE HOURS OF SINGLE STEPPING THRU CODE AND FIGURING OUT THE

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

FOR MY LOST SLEEP.... THE A.S.P... ORLANDO FLA.


IF YOU HAVE A HARD DISK OR WANT TO CREATE A BACKUP COPY THAT IS NOT
TIED INTO THE EXECU-VISION DISKETTE...IN CASE YOUR ONLY COPY GOES BAD
.. THIS PATCH WILL REMOVE THE COPY PROTECTION COMPLETELY....

AS ALWAYS THIS IS FOR YOUR PERSONAL PEACE OF MIND ONLY
IT IS NOT MEANT TO BYPASS ANY COPYRIGHTS..YOU ARE BY LAW BOUND BY
YOUR PURCHASE LISCENSE AGREEMENT.

IF YOU HAVE A HARD DISK AND WANT TO PUT THE PROGRAM ON SUCH
WHY SHOULD YOU BE TIED TO A FLOPPY. YOU HAD TO GIVE UP A LOT OF
'BIG MACS' TO GET YOUR HARD DISK.

THIS WRITE UP ASSUMES THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH DEBUG,

1). FORMAT 4 SYSTEM DISKS UNDER 2.0 OR 2.1

2). LABEL EACH ONE ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL 'EXECU-VISION' DISKETTES

3). COPY THE FILES FROM THE ORIGINAL DISKETTES TO THE CORRESPONDING
2.X FORMATTED DISKETTE

4). PLACE THE ORIGINAL 'EXECUVISION' DISKETTES BACK IN THE MANUAL
WE WILL NO LONGER USE THEM.

5). PLACE THE DISK LABELED 'PROGRAM DISK' IN 'A' DRIVE

6). RENAME EV.EXE EV

7). RENAME CREATE.EXE CREATE

8). DEBUG EV

10). S 1000:0 L EFFF 83 3E 0C 00 00

11). DEBUG WILL RESPOND WITH : 1000:XXXX (WHERE 'XXXX 'IS AN ADDRESS)

12). U 1000:XXXX

13). YOU SHOULD SEE

1000:XXXX 833E0C0000 CMP WORD PTR [000C],+00
YYYY 747F JZ ZZZZ ; WHERE ZZZZ IS A JUMP ON ZERO ADDRESS

14). E 1000:YYYY EB 7F

15). W

16). Q

17). RENAME EV EV.EXE

18). DEBUG CREATE

19). FOLLOW THE EXACT SAME PROCEDURES AS IN STEPS 10 THRU 16 ABOVE

20). RENAME CREATE CREATE.EXE

21). PUT THE 'INTRO DEMO DISK - DRIVE A' INTO DRIVE 'A'

22). RENAME T.EXE T

23). DEBUG T

24). FOLLOW THE EXACT SAME PROCEDURES AS IN STEPS 10 THRU 16 ABOVE

25). RENAME T T.EXE

NOTE: NOW ALL OF 'EXECU-VISIONS' COPY PROTECTION IS REMOVED, AND U MAY DISKCOPY
THE UNPROTECTED DISKS AS REQUIRED.

SINCE THE PROGRAM IS COMPILED BASIC I DID NOT REMOVE THE DRIVE ASSIGNMENTS
SO IF U WANT TO LOAD IT TO A RAM OR HARD DISK YOU WILL NEED TO DO THE
CORRECT 'ASSIGN A=; ASSIGN B=' STEPS.


AS A FURTHER NOTE. THE PROGRAMS 'SETUP.COM' AND 'S.COM' LOAD RESIDENT
AND DISABLE INT 5 (SHIFT-PRINT SCREEN). IF U DONT WANT SHIFT-PRTSC
DISABLED REMOVE THAT PROGRAM FROM THE AUTOEXEC.BAT.

ENJOY YOUR NEW FOUND FREEDOM..HARD DISKS FOREVER!!!!!
