[net.micro.cpm] The BDOS open patch status

Maron@LLL-MFE.ARPA@sri-unix.UUCP (08/04/83)

Just so people dont think I died I thought I would give an update
on the BDOS Open patch:

The patch is in and seems to be runing fine. It has some interesting
and often undesired side effects when running pip to do file copying
from one user to another. This can be overcome by using the disable
searching command to bpath (the Bios PATHing utility I wrote) but then
COM files cant be found either if they are not in your own area so...
I have added yet another enable-able search feature: search on open if
the file is .COM, but this coding is not yet installed and checked out
but will be this weekend if all goes well. I will continue to keep the
net posted.
