CBM recently released SetPatch_1.32, which added the following "bug fixes"
to the program:
Trackdisk
UserState
Dos Execute call
However, the new release was sent out without an accompanying .DOC file. I
was just curious... Exactly which bugs are fixed in this new release?
What was wrong with Trackdisk, etc.
Also, I've been having a slight problem since upgrading to 1.3. I have
$C00000 in my A1000 and Gurus and recoverable alerts don't work properly.
When I get a guru, the screen goes black, cycles through a couple of shades
of gray, and THEN I see the guru alert above a blank, black screen. I had
been using Bryce's Patch_1 under 1.2 and it fixed the alert problem--gurus
appeared at the top of my screen like they were supposed to. SetPatch
doesn't seem to work here. Any idea why? It's the first command in my
Startup-Sequence.

Ok, but what did you fix about Execute() ? The return code ? P.S.

We don't know if it's a real copy of SetPatch (though it probably is, assuming the person who posted it didn't modify it by, say, adding a virus). Take more precautions, especially with bulletin boards. BTW, if someone knows where it came from, I'd like to know... -- Randell Jesup, Commodore Engineering {uunet|rutgers|allegra}!cbmvax!jesup
