Deprotect for Battle Chess It was bad enough when we had to hunt for key disks to run our games from the hard disk. Now I have to hunt for a Chess game book AND a magnifying glass so I can read the darn thing. Cynical friends tell me they use the smallest thinnest print font they can find to make it hard to XEROX to foil those dastardly software pirates! Maybe so! Maybe it works but it sure makes it tough on us older fellers who are no longer able to read the Lords prayer inscribed on the head of a pin! So a deprotected copy simplifies matters greatly. It only takes changing 6 bytes in the Chess.EXE file. NOTE however that they are not all consecutive bytes.

When the Classic Game Move question comes up; just hit return and the program continues normally! These can be done, of course, using DEBUG. Surely most everyone knows how to use DEBUG by now. If not, there are many hackers willing to show you and the DOS manual contains a lengthy section on it. Do you good to learn something new. -- The Reno Cracker→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→
