How to fix copy protection from and supercharge characters for Curse of the Azure Bonds. FROM: THE COMPANY OF WOLVES ---------------------------------------------------------------- NEEDED: 1. Norton Utilities (or similar program) 2. A copy of the file start.exe from your Azure Bonds disk A 3. A bit of your time ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1. HOW TO UNPROTECT CURSE OF THE AZURE BONDS: First load START.EXE into Norton. Then search for the string 80 3E CC. This should take you to file offset 9BA hex. Go back to 9B5 hex this should be 9A (the first machine language code for a far call). Change the values of the bytes from 9B5 hex - 9B9 hex to 90's Save the changes Now the program will skip the part where it asks for code letter, you now can put away that annoying code disk until needed for decoding messages in the game. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SUPERCHARGING YOUR CHARACTERS: Copy the program CHARFIX.EXE (included with this fix) into the directory that your saved games reside. Change to that directory. Run the program, it is self explanitory and will give your characters 25's in all attributes and 255 hp's. ---------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any problems with any of the patches above check the date of the file START.EXE on your original disk A for the date and time 07/27/89 16:44. If your file has a different date then they probably changed the copy protection method and your out of luck with this patch. For other problems leave me a message at The Company of Wolves BBS (301)791-1595 11pm to 8am EST, or I can be reached on EXCEL BBS (414)789-4210 under the name Nicodemus Keesarvexious on both boards.
