To Unprotect SAMNA WORD II Version 1.1 ---
|
|
|
|
Follow these procedures carefully and you will have an unprotected
|
|
version 1.1 of SAMNA WORD II that can be placed on a hard disk or
|
|
copied to a diskette.
|
|
|
|
1. Copy all the files from SAMNA DISK 1 to a formatted work disk or
|
|
hard disk volume. All files should be copied into the same directory
|
|
if using DOS 2.xx.
|
|
|
|
2. Copy all the files from SAMNA DISK 2 to the same work disk or hard
|
|
disk volume as in step 1.
|
|
|
|
Now, you will need to "patch" three programs on the working disk using
|
|
DEBUG.
|
|
|
|
3. Log onto the drive that contains the working disk (e.g. B: )
|
|
|
|
4. Have DEBUG on a disk or volume somewhere.
|
|
|
|
Patch SAMNA.COM -
|
|
each line below should be typed exactly as shown with the ENTER key after it.
|
|
|
|
5. DEBUG SAMNA.COM
|
|
6. E 5F1 90 90
|
|
7. E 14BE 90 90
|
|
8. W
|
|
9. Q
|
|
|
|
Patch FILE2 -
|
|
|
|
10. DEBUG FILE2
|
|
11. E C99 E9 43 5F
|
|
12. W
|
|
13. Q
|
|
|
|
Patch INSTALL.COM
|
|
|
|
14. DEBUG INSTALL.COM
|
|
15. E 1FEB 90 90
|
|
16. W
|
|
17. Q
|
|
|
|
Finished with the patches. The patch to INSTALL.COM is only needed to
|
|
install your type of printer.
|
|
|
|
INSTALLING THE PRINTER -
|
|
|
|
1. Log on to the drive containing your patched working SAMNA disk.
|
|
2. Place the SAMNA PRINTER DISK (a copy or write-protected original)
|
|
into another disk drive.
|
|
3. Type INSTALL
|
|
4. When it asks if you are INSTALLing or making a CHANGE, reply C.
|
|
5. When it asks for the drive that has the original SAMNA DISK, reply
|
|
with the letter of the drive that has the SAMNA PRINTER DISK.
|
|
6. When it asks for the drive that you are installing on, enter the
|
|
drive letter of the working SAMNA DISK.
|
|
7. Then you will be given a screen of printer choices. Choose the one
|
|
you want (refer to the SAMNA manual), and press ENTER.
|
|
8. That completes the printer installation.
|
|
(Files DEFAULT.PAR and SAMNA.OV7 are changed - The printer file is
|
|
copied from the printer disk and renamed to SAMNA.OV7 and the
|
|
file DEFAULT.PAR is changed)
|
|
|
|
That completes the unprotection. Remember, all files should be in
|
|
THE SAME DIRECTORY. This is different from the way SAMNA is set up to
|
|
work normally... i.e. the file SAMNA.COM is normally in the root
|
|
directory and the other files are in a sub-directory called SAMNA. This
|
|
works OK on floppies and hard disks but not on some networks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have found SAMNA WORD II to be a nice product but it's usefulness is
|
|
diminished by it's installation difficulty and copy-protection method.
|
|
This will make hard disk usage easier and backup/restore operations
|
|
more reliable.
