A recent POST article requested help on the following PASCAL
problem.

Here is the fix for the IBM PASCAL compiler "Out of Memory" condition
that occurs on systems that have over 544K of RAM.  You can find it in
the IBM USER UPDATE of June 1983.

In general the USER UPDATES are worth acquiring and they
are free!!!  All authorized IBM distributors should have them.  Just
ask, as most of the sales people might not even realize they exist. 
They are not always the best reading but occasionally something
good comes along.  IBM has issued about 25 UPDATES and up until now
this has been IBMs primary means of informing end users about updates
and fixes.  Unfortunately they are few and far between.

Make all these changes on a copy of your compiler diskette just in case
you screw thing up.

Changes to the PAS1 diskette:

(you type the following)

A>DEBUG B:PAS1.EXE 
  LDS:100 1 A 1
  DDS:12A l1

the program will display

xxxx:012A 7E

if this isn't displayed, quit debug.

you type -

EDS:12A 76
WDS:1 A 1

REMOVE the PAS1 diskette and insert PAS2 diskette

you type-

LDS:100 1 F 1
DDS:12A L1

program should display -

xxxx:012A 7E

you type -

EDS:12A 76
WDS:100 1 F 1

REMOVE PAS2 diskette -

Insert LIBRARY diskette -

you type -

LDS:100 1 9 1
DDS:01BA L1

program should respond with -

xxx:01BA 7E

you type -

EDS:1BA 76
WDS:100 1 9 1
