A friend of mine ran into a problem when he upgraded his hardware to a Color Computer 2 running Color Basic 1.2 with Telewriter-64. It seems that the changes between 1.1 and 1.2 had caused the word processor to only accept one letter if two identicle letters were entered in succession. Having just read a Raimbow article, I offered to fix it. It seems that the POLCAT routine (that scans the keyboard for a character) has been moved from location $A1C1 to $A1CB (the INTCNV routine has also been moved from $B3F3). In case anyone else comes accross this problem, here are the locations of the JSRs that are involved and a procedure for the novice to modify Tele-64 for 1.2. (1) CLOADM the machine portion of T64; (2) Poke a $CB (203 dec) into the following locations: 1EFC (7932) 2010 (8208) 2601 (9729) 355A (13658) 3939 (14649) 3B0C (15116) (3) CSAVEM "TW64",&H1E28,3FE8,1E28 If you need to modify non-64 Telewriter, the procedure is the same, except that the locations have been changed to protect the innocent. -- Steven M.
