Workshop J : To remove the write protection check from ST NEWS

by MUG UKÔ -17th May 1998, 00:24AM

 

Within "Easyrider" (one of the many tools at MUG's disposal), it displays upon ye monitor the following commands.

 

BNE.S wpr&; wpr = write-protect routine

JMP all_OK

 

wpr: PEA 1.W

waffle ....

all_OK

 

 

All the young (check before publishing) adventurer had to do was remove this vile BNE.S from the face of the code.

 

Once this is done (via MONST, or using a Disk Doctor type tool) it was proven to Sir Rich of LGD that this minor routine could be bypassed (and hopefully with all other issues of this magazine) and rendered *patched* for use with, for example, "PacifiST".
