I have seen unprotection schemes for "Managaing Your Money" operating under DOS 3.0. I don't know why there should be a difference between that scheme and what is should be like under DOS 2.x. However in trying to unprotect this program in order to exercise my full legal rights of making backup copies, I found significant differences between the DOS 3.0 scheme floating around that BBS's and the one that eventually worked for me under MS-DOS 2.11. Try the following to unprotect version 1.52 of ANDREW TOBIAS's "Managing Your Money": (assumption: your are familiar with DEBUG) rename MYM.EXE to something else (i.e. MYM.TMP) DEBUG MYM.TMP e 0701 fill location 701,702, anl 703 with NOP's (byte 90) e 7B71 fill location 7971,7972, and 7973 with NOP's (byte 90) W write to disk Q quit the first series of NOP's eliminates the call to Drive A: the second eliminates checks to see if the right info was read: =============Lee Mowatt===============
