From: Bruce L. Conroy <BLC@jpl-vax> To set the drive where dBase looks for its overlay and message files there are two locations to patch. In version 2.03 there are two prototype file control blocks, which look like: 42cc 00 44 42 41 53 45 4d 53 47 43 4f 4d .DBASEMSGCOM 42ed 00 44 42 41 53 45 20 20 20 4f 56 52 .DBASE OVR Changing 42cc and 42ed to 03 causes dBase to look for the files on drive C. I have looked at later versions of dBase, and while the actual locations have been changed, all versions seem to have two of them, between 4200 and 4300, and the ASCII file names make them jump out on a DDT display. ------
