Print Shop unprotect procedures The Print Shop uses an installation process which records the physical location of the program in an overlay file. During program initialization, a check is made to see if the location has changed. If it has, due to a restore, a disk reorganization, a disk optimization, or anything, the program refuses to run. The code to do the checking is actually stored in the overlay file. These procedures force the result to be accepted regardless of whether the check is correct or not. 1) Install the program in the usual way, using the Print Shop install programs. 2) Copy the files to another directory. 3) Uninstall the programs, again using the Print Shop programs. 4) Now CD to the directory which has the copied files. 5) Use DEBUG to make the following changes: -DEBUG PSINIT.OVR Load the program into DEBUG -S0 FFF 59 3B C8 75 1E This is a version check. xxxx:024A If you don't get this number, STOP NOW.
