HOW TO UNPROTECT "KINDERCOMP" AND "KIDS ON KEYS"
                     GAMES FROM SPINNAKER SOFTWARE
                       (by Herb Sorock, 07/01/85)

    These "unprotects" will permit the backing-up of the "Kindercomp"
and "Kids on Keys" games as well as permitting hard disk owners to run
the games without the original disks in drive A.  Some familiarity with
the DEBUG program on the PC-DOS disk is assumed.

                                 KIDS ON KEYS
                                 ------------

1. Take out the KIDS ON KEYS disk and make a copy of it on another disk
using "COPY A:*.* B:" .  Do not make the copy using DISKCOPY since the
disk is protected.  Put the original away in your "archives".

2. Put your DOS diskette in drive A and the KIDS ON KEYS copy in drive B.

3. Follow the "script" below.  Lowercase is your input, uppercase is
DEBUG's response.  XXXX means the numbers in these spaces will vary
depending on your machine's configuration.  Note: if DEBUG shows
something other than what is indicated below, you have a different
version and this unprotect will not work.

4. KIDS ON KEYS is now unprotected.  Also, the program no longer refuses
to acknowledge ctrl-alt-del so you don't have to turn off the power to
run another program.
