Downloaded the disk image from: https://archive.org/download/Uncracked4am COMPUTIST No. 23 has a crack for this spreadsheet, but IMHO it can be slighttly improved and furthermore it is missing the HD installation part. From the original article we learn that there is a nibble check/count routine "hidden" in block #7. The proposal patch is to change a 18 CLC with a 38 SEC. We noticed that you can completely bypass the check/count code replacing a 20 JSR with a 60 RTS in block #7 byte 75. Reboot and the program starts. Now for the missing part: 1 - Start a disk with ProDOS and BASIC.SYSTEM on it 2 - insert the FlashCalc disk 3 - run INSTALL (a BIN file) 4 - set/change the prefix with one of your choice 5 - try 'I' and... we got an error! A quick analisys of INSTALL reveals the presence of the same check/count code contained in block #7. So now we can follow the idea of the COMPUTIST article and replace in file INSTALL at offset DB2 a 18 CLC with a 38 SEC. We can do better: we are very lucky and we noticed that the carry flag is set before the call of the check/count routine, so all we need is to replace in file INSTALL at offeset 913 a 20 JSR with a 2C BIT. Lets go to search all your VISICALC data files and convert them to ProDOS!
