Unprotect for Sargon IV


 BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR THE PROGRAM DISK BEFORE STARTING AND USE THE
 BACK UP FOR THE UNPROTECT.
 Modify only the backup copy!!!

 First you should rename the file or files
 SARGON.EXE TO SARGON


 Ex. C>rename sargon.exe sargon

 Next Load program into debug...

 Ex. C>debug sargon

 Then Follow the sample debug session:

     -r                           :   Get the value of the CS register

AX=????  BX=????  CX=????  DX=????  SP=????  BP=????  SI=????  DI=????
DS=????  ES=????  SS=????  CS=WWWW  IP=????   ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ??
WWWW:???? ??            ???     ??

     XXXX=WWWW+2000               :   Add 2000 hex to value
                                      (These numbers are in hex. If you are
                                       unfamiliar with the adding of hex
                                       numbers don't attempt this patch)

     -s XXXX:0000 ffff 26 8b 07 89 46 fa
                                  :   Search of protection pattern

     XXXX:YYYY                    :   The search will return one address.
                                      If more than one is returned
                                      this unprotect may not work.

     -e XXXX:YYYY b8 00 10         :   Edit the contents of the
                                       returned address

 Now write the new sargon game back to the disk:

     -w  <Enter>

     Writing XXXX bytes

 Then Quit Debug:

     -q  <Enter>

 Now it is time to rename sargon back to sargon.exe

     C>ren sargon sargon.exe

 Now try to run the new (Hopefully) unprotected version of Sargon IV.
 When the question comes up answer '1924'

     C>sargon
