Now available from SIMTEL20: Filename Type Bytes CRC Directory MICRO:<CPM.WSTAR> WSP33.LBR.1 COM 17664 728DH What it is: WSP33.LBR - Wordstar 3.3 Patches by Mark S. Stein 11/4/84 The files contained herein comprise WSP33.ASM, WSP33.HEX, WSP33-A.SUB, WSP33-B.SUB, WSP33.DOC and EX14.COM. In order to implement the patches, the additional files needed include DDT.COM, ASM.COM and a newly-installed version of Wordstar which must be renamed WSINSTAL.COM. The following is a summary of the patch effects that are used in conjunction with WORDSTAR version 3.3 for the Osborne I. Minor modifications to the companion source file WSP33.ASM can be made to accommodate other computers and printers. 1) One set of patches within WSP33.ASM is used to set up the Osborne I Arrow keys to allow the automatic switchover from/to CP/M to/from Wordstar. 2) The other patches within WSP33.ASM are used to provide specific program and printer patches and the default values for the left and right margins have been preset to columns 1 and 80, respectively. Modify all the default values to the desired value or toggle state prior to assembling with ASM.COM. 3) The MicroPro LOGO and legal jargon have been eliminated and screen blanking occurs upon entering as well as exiting Wordstar. The underlining effect has also been eliminated. If the dimming effect is NOT desired, change the value of 29H at location 0269H to 28H using EDFILE or simply change the "29" appearing on the line below S269 to a "28" (see patching routine within either WSP33-A.SUB or WSP33-B.SUB). 4) The AUTOLOG onto "B" feature is employed within WSP33-B. SUB and becomes automatically installed. If this feature is not desired, use WSP33-A.SUB instead of WSP33-B.SUB.
