Deprotect for BattleHawks: 1942 by Lucasfilms
        
             If you have this game and enjoy playing it, you already know 
        about the nuisance of the passive protection system employed. At 
        my "workstation" finding a particular floppy involves a major 
        search.  Finding a part of the program documentation is usually a 
        lost cause. And by the time I find it there's little time left 
        for playing games. 
        
             Fortunately removing the nuisance question is relatively 
        simple!  -- Ain't it always; when someone tells you how to do it?
        
             The question comes right after you have selected a mission 
        and accepted your plane and are ready to go.  It involves looking 
        up a picture of a Japanese plane in a certain attitude (like 
        climbing to the right, right wing low, incoming about 2 o'clock). 
        Above each plane picture (there are 15 scattered through the 
        book) is a word having no relation at all to the plane picture.
        
             The easiest way to defeat this particular system is find the 
        words on the disk and replace them with all zero's.  Then when 
        the question comes up on the screen; just hit return (giving a 
        zero entry) and the program will continue on it's merry way.  Be 
        advised that the old "correct" entries can no longer be used 
        since they will give you an incorrect identification and dump you 
        into the old training mode!  One quick return is the only correct 
        response after this patch.
        
            First make a DISKCOPY of disk 1 (It's not copy protected and 
        a standard DOS disk). Do your patching on the copy of course!
        Get into File Edit mode and edit the File BH.EXE.  Go to sector 
        281 (2nd half) and there you will see in Upper Case ASCII the 
        first of the Quiz Words, "YAMOMOTO".  There are 15 of them ex-
        tending over onto sector 282 (1st half).  Each word is preceded 
        and followed by a 00 00. What you are going to do is just zero 
        out all 15 words, from "YAMAMOTO" TO "HALSEY" -- Replace each 
        Ascii letter with "00" (easier if you do your editing on the left 
        data side of PCTOOLS). Then write the sectors back to the disk 
        and you're finished.
        
            If your copy of Battlehawks is a bit different from mine -- 
        that is, the code words aren't in the same spot as mine just do a 
        "FIND" operation from the PCTOOLS menu and look for the ascii 
        sequence "YAMAMOTO".  It should turn up with no trouble.
        
                                     Good Flying and Keep your Nose Up!
