Ok, I went ahead and put a patched version of MED 2.13 on everyone's favorite
ftp site as:
abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov:incoming/amiga/med213patched.lzh
The lharced file contains an icon I made for MED, the patched and not
compressed version of MED 2.13, and a readme file which is also available as:
abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov:incoming/amiga/med213patched.README
I used the program 'PatchS!' by Ben Fuller to patch the MED executable so it
will now (hopefully) run under 2.0. I don't have 2.0, so I can't test it.
However, it runs ok on my 2000 with 1.3. 'PatchS!' was written by
Ben Fuller (of Project D fame) and allows you to patch programs that use
ciaa.resource so that they run under 2.0. Originally, he wrote it to patch
Sonix, and it worked. He also got Roger Rabbit (the game) to work under 2.0
as well as the program 'Play' by Mark Riley (author of Sonix). The patching
procedure turned up 10 references to ciaa or ciaa register addresses. Perhaps
now MED will work with 2.0; anyone care to try it out?
If you do try it, I'd appreciate your feedback. NOTE: please hold all mail
replies until the evening of Thursday 11/22/90 (Thanksgiving night) to ensure
that the mail is still in my virtual reader come Sunday when I return to
school.
Happy Thanksgiving!
