Unprotect PFS-file, PFS-report, PFS-write   by Independent (IND)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNPROTECTING PFS-FILE, PFS-REPORT AND PFS-WRITE. IMPORTANT! COPY FILE.EXE AND/OR REPORT.EXE TO ANOTHER DISK FIRST. DON'T MAKE THESE PATCHES ON YOUR ORIGINAL DISK! (USE THE USUAL DOS COPY COMMAND) FOR PFS-FILE: RENAME FILE.EXE TO FILE.ZAP HAVE DEBUG.COM HANDY TYPE -> DEBUG FILE.ZAP TYPE -> U 9243 YOU SHOULD SEE, AMONG OTHER THINGS: PUSH BP MOV AX,DS MOV ES,AX (ETC) IF YOU DON'T SEE THIS, TYPE -> Q (YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT VERSION) OTHERWISE, TYPE -> E 9248 EB 2B TYPE -> W TYPE -> Q BACK IN DOS, RENAME FILE.ZAP TO FILE.EXE. YOU NOW HAVE AN UNPROTECTED COPY OF PFS-FILE. FOR PFS-REPORT: RENAME REPORT.EXE TO REPORT.ZAP HAVE DEBUG.COM HANDY, AND TYPE -> DEBUG REPORT.ZAP TYPE -> U 98BF YOU SHOULD SEE, AMONG OTHER THINGS: PUSH BP MOV AX,DS MOV ES,AX (ETC) IF YOU DON'T SEE THIS, TYPE -> Q (YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT VERSION) OTHERWISE, TYPE -> E 98C4 EB 2B TYPE -> W TYPE -> Q BACK IN DOS, RENAME REPORT.ZAP TO REPORT.EXE. YOU NOW HAVE AN UNPROTECTED COPY OF PFS-REPORT. For PFS-Write: RENAME PFSWRITE.EXE TO PFSWRITE.ZAP DEBUG PFSWRITE.ZAP U 235A YOU SHOULD SEE, AMONG OTHER THINGS: INT 13 JNB 2362 IF YOU DON`T SEE THIS, TYPE -> Q (you don't have the right version) OTHERWISE, TYPE -> E235A 90 90 90 90 TYPE -> E2360 90 90 TYPE -> A2369 TYPE -> CMP AX,AX TYPE -> <cr> TYPE -> W TYPE -> Q RENAME PFSWRITE.ZAP TO PFSWRITE.EXE. YOU NOW HAVE AN UNPROTECTED COPY OF PFS-WRITE. ============================================================================ P.S. From another author than the one who wrote the above. The routine above is excellent, however I had a different version of PFS FILE and PFS REPORT. If you dont find the locations listed above try these: PFS FILE TYPE -> U 9223 YOU SHOULD SEE PUSH BP MOV AX,DS MOV ES,AX (ETC) IF SO TYPE -> E 9228 EB 2B TYPE -> W TYPE -> Q AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS GIVEN ABOVE ABOUT RENAME ETC. PFS REPORT TYPE -> U 988F YOU SHOULD SEE PUSH BP MOV AX,DS MOV ES,AX (ETC) IF SO TYPE -> E 9894 EB 2B TYPE -> W TYPE -> Q AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS GIVEN ABOVE ABOUT RENAME & ETC. My thanks to the original author who worked so hard to help us. Please use these routines for your own use. I needed to add DOS 2.1 and place these programs on double sided disks. Don't rip off these software manufacturers.
