the change to the backup.

         B) Reset the computer and load the $C000 monitor from your
         utility disk <> LOAD"49152",8,1 <>. Sys it in with SYS 49152.
         Now, from your formatted disk, load the CODE file
         <> L"CODE",08 <>. We now will transfer it to a holding spot
         in memory, for later use <> T 0B40 0C50 7B40 <>. This will send
         the code to $7B40.

         C) Now from the BACKUP load the altered file BND128
         <> L "BND128",08 <>. Remember, it will now load five sectors
         ahead of it's normal spot (from $0400 to $0900). When the
         load is complete, disassemble the code at $1040. Again here
         is our decryption routine.

         D) Transfer the code we placed at $7B40 to its proper
         place in the altered file <> T 7B40 7C50 1040 <>. When the
         cursor reappears, check the code at $1040. It should now contain
         the new code we saved from the break.

         E) Save the altered file back to the backup
         <> S "@0:BNK12A",08,0900,6101 <>. Note we are adding five
         sectors to every address, plus one byte to the end address.

         F) Now all that's left is to change the file address back
         to $0400. Follow the same procedure as in step 6a, except change
         the address pointer from an 09 to an 04.

         You now have a completely broken copy. The protection scheme has
         been totally wiped out.

         Loading the original produces a rattle free load, and an error scan
         shows no standard errors. A backup made with the C-64 Fast Copier
         provides a non-working backup. Nybble utilities also provide a
         non-working backup. Before starting to work on this title,
         please make a backup of both sides, and do a disk log (print-out is
         best).

         I must admit that this program was fairly difficult to trace
         through the loading sequence. After several tries, it was time to
         reason the situation out. Watching the backup load a few times lit
         up the old mental light bulb. The load seemed complete; the only
         problem were the ICONS on the first menu screen. They were there,
         but non-operative. Checking the directory provided the file I felt
         deserved immediate attention.
