As I previously posted, the address to make 1A* skip the copyright screen is 04F2h, which contains a CALL 0456. I am at home now, so I can't bring up 1-2-3 1A non * and look at the addresses. I would not trust doing this patch on the non * version. I know they are different, as the protection code is also different. My patch only changes three bytes and doesn't affect the copy protection. As a word of warning, even to the point of repeating it, always make a backup of any program that you are going to poke around in. You never know what you may do wrong, even if my mistake. -- Mr. Video {seismo!uwvax!|!decvax|!ihnp4}!nicmad!brown
