BOOM-FIX: A TSR to bypass the date check/expiration for
Boomer's BBs Utils v2.89.
USAGE: Copy BOOM-FIX.COM to your BOOMER directory
Add BOOM-FIX to your Autoexec.Bat
C:\BOOMER\BOOM-FIX
-or-
LH C:\BOOMER\BOOM-FIX ( to load in high memory )
Once the program has run, it will remain in memory
until the system is rebooted. Both BOOM.EXE and FED.EXE
will run with an expired key and will maintain the correct
date during operation.
Don't run BOOM-FIX more than once without re-booting
system, I was to lazy to write a routine to check and
see if file was already present in memory.
Don't rename BOOM.EXE or FED.EXE since BOOM-FIX has to check
these names when the files are executed.
HOW IT WORKS:
Both BOOM.EXE and FED.EXE check the date several times while
starting up. The second time they check the date is when the key
verification takes place. BOOM-FIX simply passes 01/05/95 to both
the programs during the key check, so that the 02/01/95 expiration
date never happens. All other requests for the date return the
correct system time. This allows the program to operate correctly
using the correct date while processing files etc...
NOTE: IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I TESTED THE PROGRAM
AS BEST I COULD WITHOUT HAVING ANY BBS SOFTWARE INSTALLED. BOTH
BOOM.EXE AND FED.EXE EXECUTE CORRECTLY EVEN THOUGH THE KEY HAS EXPIRED.
ALSO, BOOM REPORTS THE CORRECT SYSTEM TIME ON THE MAIN MENU AFTER
LOADING.
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, A QUICK CODE FIX WILL GET YOU UP AND RUNNING,
GIVE ME A CALL...
Enjoy!
