Hi, The following Z80 Turbo Pascal files have been added to simtel20: Filename Type Bytes CRC Directory MICRO:<CPM.TURBOPAS> HELPPAT.DOC.1 ASCII 3301 09BEH PATCH.PAS.1 ASCII 3297 550BH SAMPLPAT.PAS.1 ASCII 1583 17D5H The file HELPPAT.DOC shows how to patch Z80 Turbo Pascal versions 1.0 and 2.0 with DDT so that the error message file is automatically loaded without asking the user. The program PATCH.PAS allows you to write Turbo programs that access the CP/M command tail. Turbo (as written) clobbers the command tail; this patch program is run on a .COM file to move the tail to a "safe" location. It also dummies out some terminal initialization that .COM files automatically do. SAMPLPAT.PAS is a sample program showing how your program code must be modified to use PATCH.PAS. It also provides documentation for PATCH.PAS. dsw, fferd Fred S. Brundick aka Pascal Postman USABRL, APG, MD. <info-pascal-request@brl-voc>
