Unprotect ThinkTank Version 1.000 (There are TWO versions) 1. Diskcopy the original disk to another floppy or copy the files to a hard disk. (If you have version 1.001 go to 1.001 instructions) 2. Rename TANK.EXE, type RENAME TANK.EXE TANK.XXX 3. Rename INSTALL.EXE, type RENAME INSTALL.EXE INSTALL.XXX 4. Type DEBUG TANK.XXX and press ENTER 5. At the - prompt, type R . Look for the value in the DS register (left-hand column of the second line of the R display). 6. Add 2000 to that DS value. i.e. if the R display showed DS=0D5F then you will use 2D5F. I will refer to this value later as xxxx. 7. Check that your version is the same. Type the following: U A8E9 and press ENTER You should see JZ A8EE on the first line of the display. If so, this patch should work. 8. Type E xxxx:59 90 90 Enter 9. Type E xxxx:5C B8 00 00 90 Enter 10. Type E A8E9 EB 03 Enter 11. Type E A902 EB 03 Enter 12. To save these changes, now type W 13.

Type E 50DC B8 00 00 90 Enter 21. To save the changes, type W 22. To quit DEBUG, type Q 23. Rename INSTALL back to original name RENAME INSTALL.XXX INSTALL.EXE That's it.
