What it is:
TURBO PASCAL PATCH FOR THE EXECUTIVE
This patch will enable you to run TURBO PASCAL on the OSBORNE
EXECUTIVE without errors. The patch is a program that modifies
the Interrupt handler starting at FEF0. The modification only
involves jumping out of the routine to save the registers and
then restore them when done with the interrupt. The program does
a block move overwriting the top locations in memory. The patch
will only work on EXEC 1.0 revision rom and BIOS V1.0. I say
this because I have no way to test it on any other versions. I
recommend erasing the EXECST.COM file and replacing it with the
TURBO patch renamed to EXECST.COM This way when ever you boot
the patch will be taken care of for you! I tested the patch in
every way I could think of including setting the date and time.
Everything seems to work great! Any questions and or comments
