       President, Melbourne PC User Group,
       Melbourne, Australia.

       Sysop of the "PC Connection" IBBS on +61 3 528 3750.
       CCITT V.21 type modem required.  300 baud only.

I downloaded A.S.P.'s unprotection mechanisms for 'Signmaster' 5.04 and
'Chartmaster' 6.04 on Monday 26th November 1985.

Wouldn't you know it I had versions 5.05 and 6.05 respectively.

I've retrofitted a patch that seems to be okay.


SIGNMASTER 5.05
---------------

1.  Rename SIGN.EXE SIGN

2.  DEBUG SIGN

3.  D CS:895

    You should see 75 03 E9 09

    E CS:895 90 90 EB BB

    W

    Q

4.  Rename SIGN SIGN.EXE


CHARTMASTER 6.05
----------------

1.  Rename CM1.EXE CM1

2.  DEBUG CM1

3.  D CS:A51

    You should see 75 03 E9 09 00

    E CS:A51 90 90 EB CF 06

    W

    Q

4.  Rename SIGN SIGN.EXE


NOTE:
-----

1.  Still requires a diskette in the drive, but not the 'KEY' diskette.

2.  I wasn't able to determine what the second part of A.S.P.'s method
    did, and they seem to be working fine without it.
