Can someone tell me what this program fixes (the docs are in German)?
I got it from atari.archive and Todd Miller's description says that
it fixes some problems with Quick ST and Turbo ST when they're used
with Gemini and Rufus.

The Consws and Fwrite(stdout) Calls are not written into the Console window or into a file, but are 'speeded up' by QuickST / TurboST. This is the first problem ConsFix patches. - QuickST does not save the Register A2 while GEMDOS-Calls. The TurboC compiler (wrongly!) assumes that the register is not changed and so you often get bombs, when using programs that are compiled with TurboC an QuickST. This A2-Fix is the second patch in ConsFix. The version 1.2 doesn't work with TurboST > 1.6, so please check the version is 1.3! ConsFix must start bevor QuickST in the AutoFolder. I am writing the english docs.... I have written another patch program: VdiFix patches an error of the v_opnwk/v_opnvwk call. Under certain conditions the same handle is assigned to every newly opened VDI-Workstation. This error is found in every TOS except TOS 1.2. Sincerly, Karsten

This program fixes the I/O-redirection bug. If you use the console-window from Gemini and on of those "softwareblitters" you can't direct the output from a program (a contents-listing of a zoo-archive for example) to a file or the printer port, because the new BIOS-routines of Quick-ST and Turbo-ST doesn't care about I/O-redirection.

What the HACK is this ??? CONS-FIX 1.3 is *my* program, i am the author of it. It is not in BETA- test state, it is doing it's job (Fix TurboST/QuickST-redirection problems to console if you use GEMINI or other shells). I distributed it as freeware together with GEMINI 1.2 and in the FIDO-net. You can download it from atari.archive (with german documentation), from every big fido-node (it went around europe with stick/hatch) and every MAUS-net box in germany.
