like to wait, and don't want to mess with your
system clock open gpl.exe in the hex editor of your choice and change
the bytes at location 0x0000B16D from 0x7F04
to 0x7C04. For reference the preceeding bytes are 0x83F909, i.e compare
register blah against 9, we change jump if
greater than to jump if less than, so GPL 1.2.0.0 will now run on a
machine with the month set to October or beyond. A
little disassembly goes a long way. :-)
Note this is for the U.S. 1.2 patch only, the German patch probably
differs although a similar search will probably yield
similar results.
