How To Code diskmag
Hi,
It's a long time since I last show up here. While doing some cleaning at my parents' home, I stumbled upon an old french diskmag edited by E.K.O., called How To Code. I wasn't able to check if everything is OK, but I had no read errors for issue #1, #2 and #4. I had problems reading the first disk of issue #3. Some friends that still have the real hardware will try to read the disk anyway.
I hope it's OK this way.
Regards

Damn, it's not the appropriate forum. Please, can an administrator move this topic to the appropriate place ? Thanks a lot

Let's revive this topic a little bit. Some zip files seems protected by password. Has anyone managed to get the password to unzip the archives ?

Re: How To Code diskmag
I think these disks were released as shareware, hence the password. If nothing else, brute force on a PC would probably find the password rather quickly.

Password for HTC#2 is "MARCUS".
HTC#4 seems to be installable without any password.
