WHEN THESE PROGRAMS ARE OPENED THE FIRST
TIME, EUPHEMISTICALLY CALLED "INSTALLAT
ION", THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE KERNAL TH
AT HAD BOOTED THE SYSTEM AT THAT TIME IS
KEYED TO THE PROGRAM: THESE PROGRAMS WI
LL THEN NOT OPERATE WITH ANY KERNAL WITH
A DIFFERENT SERIAL NUMBER. ALSO, EACH O
F THESE PROGRAMS ACCESSES THE SERIAL NUM
BER IN A DIFFERENT WAY, MAKING A SINGLE
COPYDEFEAT PROGRAM IMPOSSIBLE.. THE BES
T WAY TO OVERCOME THIS IS TO CHANGE THE
SERIAL NUMBER OF THE KERNAL TO MATCH THE
ONE ON THE SYSTEM AT THE TIME OF "INSTA
LLATION". OUR PROGRAM "SERIALX" ALLOWS T
HE USER TO READ THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE
KERNAL, AND CHANGE IT. (THIS PROGRAM MA
Y NOT BE ON YOUR DISK YET: IT'LL BE AVAI
LABLE FROM OUR BBS VERY SOON).. ANOTHER
MORE INVOLVED METHOD IS TO DELETE THE K
ERNAL, THEN REPLACE IT WITH THE ONE THAT
"INSTALLED" THE PROGRAMS. GEOS MAKES IT
FAIRLY DIFFICLT TO DO THIS...
