How to Unprotect dBase III Plus 1.00
 						by the Lone Victor

     This file tells how to remove the Softguard Superlok 2.03 copy
protection from dBase III Plus version 1.00, on the file DBASE.LD1,
138752 bytes, dated 12/27/85 6:00.  It will work with this file and
no others.  If it doesn't work, you probably have a different file.

     With this text file you should find a binary file DBASE.BIN.
You will need this file, DEBUG, and your dBase System Disk #1.

     Make a new directory on your hard disk or format a new floppy.
into this empty directory copy the following files from your dBase
System Disk 1:  CONFIG.DB, DBASE.LD1, DBASE.MSG, DBASEINL.OVL.  Also
include a copy of the file DBASE.BIN that comes with this text.

     Now, using DEBUG execute the following commands:

	debug dbase.ld1
	n dbase.bin
	l
	rbx <cr>
	BX 0000			;debug response
	:2
	rcx
	CX 2E00			;debug response
	:1e00
	w
	Writing 21e00 bytes	;debug response
	q

	rename dbase.bin dbase.exe
	del dbase.ld1

     You now have a complete working copy of dBase III Plus.  There
is no need to run the INSTALL and UNINSTALL programs.  If you are 
working on a hard disk, also copy all files from System Disk 2 into 
your directory.

     If anyone has trouble with this copy of dbase.exe, please contact
me on the Atlanta IBM-PCUG BBS at 404-433-0062.
