*** BOOTSTRAPS **
*.. GEOS COPYPROTECTION USES A "KEY" BE
YOND TRACK 35 OF THE DISK, WHICH IS READ
FROM A ROUTINE AT C196 IN THE KERNAL JU
MP TABLE. THIS ROUTINE IS CALLED "WHATIS
" IN ALEX BOYCE'S TECH MANUAL, AND "GETS
ERIALNUMBER" IN THE BERKELEY TECH MANUAL
. THIS KEY IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ENC
ODE USING A 1541 DISK DRIVE.. THE SERIA
L NUMBER REFERRED TO IS ENCODED BY A RAN
DOM NUMBER GENERATOR THE FIRST TIME THE
GEOS DISKS IS OPENED: UNOPENEN GEOS DISK
S ARE IDENTICAL UNTIL THEY'VE BEEN OPENE
D......THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF GEOS B
OOTDISK MAKERS ON OUR DISKS; ON SIDE A O
F SHAREWARE DISK#1, AND IN THE UPDATES O
N SIDE B OF SHAREWARE DISK#2. THE PURPOS
E OF ALL OF THEM IS TO CREATE BOOTABLE W
ORKDISKS FOR THE VARIOUS GEOS PROGRAM DI
SKS. THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OFFER THE US
ER A CHOICE OF CONVERSION TYPE.. "BOOTS
TRAP", THE FIRST KIND, VERY CLOSELY SIMU
LATES THE COPY-PROTECT "KEY". THIS BOOTS
TRAP WORKS WITH ALL VERSIONS OF GEOS, IN
CLUDING V1.0, V1.1, V1.2, V1.2 WITH DESK
TOP1.3, AND THE GEOS V1.3 KERNAL THAT CO
MES WITH THE 1351 MOUSE AND 1764 RAM EXP
ANSION: WE HOPE AND BELIEVE THAT BSW WIL
L NOT BE ABLE TO FURTHER DISTINGUISH ORI
GINALS FROM BOOTDISKS CREATED WITH THIS
PROGRAM.. THE OTHER BOOTSTRAPS WITH THE
DESIGNATION 1.2 (X), AND 1.3A, ACTUALLY
ALTER THE PROGRAM CODE ON THE DISKS, US
UALLY JUMPING THE COPYPROTECT VECTOR. BE
CAUSE THE CODE IS CHANGED, UNFORSEEN SID
E-EFFECTS CAN OCCUR, SUCH AS THE INFAMOU
S FILE-DUMPING PROBLEM; AND IT'LL BE A S
IMPLE MATTER FOR BSW TO DEFEAT THIS KIND
OF PROGRAM, WITH SOMETIMES DISASTEROUS
RESULTS. AN EXAMPLE IS THE COREWORM IN T
HE DESKTOP1.3, SOMETIMES CALLED A "TROJA
N HORSE", BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE DELETED O
NCE IN PLACE, WITHOUT A COMPLETE BACKUP
RECOPY.. THESE PROGRAMS ARE INCLUDED ON
OUR DISKS BECAUSE SOME USERS HAVE REPOR
TED PROBLEMS WITH THE ORIGINAL BOOTSTRAP
, ASSOCIATED WITH VARIOUS C64 ROM VERSIO
NS AND DISK ALIGNMENT.. GEOS ADD-ON PRO
GRAMS, LIKE GEODEX, GEOWRITE2.0, GRAPHIC
S GRABBER, ETC., HAVE AN UNUSUAL COPY-PR
OTECT SCHEME. WHEN THESE PROGRAMS ARE OP
ENED THE FIRST TIME, EUPHEMISTICALLY CAL
LED "INSTALLATION", THE SERIAL NUMBER OF
THE KERNAL THAT HAD BOOTED THE SYSTEM A
T THAT TIME IS KEYED TO THE PROGRAM: THE
SE PROGRAMS WILL THEN NOT OPERATE WITH A
NY KERNAL WITH A DIFFERENT SERIAL NUMBER
. ALSO, EACH OF THESE PROGRAMS ACCESSES
THE SERIAL NUMBER IN A DIFFERENT WAY, MA
KING A SINGLE COPYDEFEAT PROGRAM IMPOSSI
BLE.. THE BEST WAY TO OVERCOME THIS IS
TO CHANGE THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE KERNA
L TO MATCH THE ONE ON THE SYSTEM AT THE
TIME OF "INSTALLATION". OUR PROGRAM "SER
IALX" ALLOWS THE USER TO READ THE SERIAL
NUMBER OF THE KERNAL, AND CHANGE IT. (T
HIS PROGRAM MAY NOT BE ON YOUR DISK YET:
IT'LL BE AVAILABLE FROM OUR BBS VERY SO
ON).. ANOTHER MORE INVOLVED METHOD IS T
O DELETE THE KERNAL, THEN REPLACE IT WIT
H THE ONE THAT "INSTALLED" THE PROGRAMS.
GEOS MAKES IT FAIRLY DIFFICLT TO DO THI

THAT THE FIRST FOUR FILES ARE; GEOS, GE
