Looks like there are some knowledgeable people on here so I'm really hoping someone can help me.
I have a very old application that runs under DOS which was working fine up until recently.
I needed to change the trading name which prints out on stationary that I issue relating to this software. I presumed this involved something simple like editing a text file or running a setup .bat/exe. However most of the files seem to be in some sort of programming code/language which I'm not familiar with.
I amended a file I thought to be the relevant one after making a backup of the original but only made things worse in that now the program will not accept what I know to be the correct password!!
It seems to me that I may have activated some sort of copy protection but I'm not sure really.
Does anybody think they might be able to help? (18GB SCSI HDD free to anyone who can help me solve this!)
