*  FILE NAME:	 123LOGO.ZAP						  *
*									  *
*  FUNCTION:	 These commands    patch   Lotus 123.EXE Release  1A  to  *
*		 bypass  the initial signon logo and eliminates the need  *
*		 to  "Press  any key" to start 123.   I  developed  this  *
*		 patch to enable  the user to display a Lotus graph from  *
*		 the system level.   With this patch installed,  a  user  *
*		 can  construct  a worksheet containing an  auto-execute  *
*		 macro which will display a graph then exit. By renaming  *
*		 this  worksheet to "AUTO123.WKS" and typing "123"  from  *
*		 the system level, 123 will execute, load "AUTO123.WKS",  *
*		 and display the graph. 				  *
*									  *
*  INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Copy 123.EXE to a backup file (ie. 123.aok) 	  *
*									  *
*		 2. Rename 123.exe to 123.pgm (prevents debug relocation) *
*									  *
*		 3. Patch 123 by issuing the following debug commands:	  *
*									  *
*		    debug 123.pgm					  *	    *
*		    u cs:049D L 3	 (verify it's: E85106  CALL 0AF1) *
*		    u cs:04C8 L 3	 (verify it's: E87E16  CALL 1B49) *
*		    f cs:049D L 3 90	 (over-write with nop's)          *
*		    f cs:04C8 L 3 90	 (over-write with nop's)          *
*		    w			 (write it out) 		  *
*		    q							  *
*									  *
*		 4. rename 123.pgm back to 123.exe and you're in business.*

*  NOTES:	 This  PC-ZAP  file  has  been	tested on  Lotus 123.EXE  *
*		 Release 1A and Release 1A*.				  *
