- RX for DIREX.COM
-
- A number of readers have correctly noted that Steven Holzner's DIREX.COM
- (Programming/Utilities column, Volume 6 Number 1) does not handle files
- larger than 62K properly. Corrected versions DIREX.COM, DIREX.ASM, and
- DIREX.BAS can be downloaded from the PC Interactive Reader Service, or you
- can make the necessary changes to these files manually, as described below.
-
- FOR DIREX.COM, use DEBUG to change F8 to F4 at the two addresses shown,
- as follows:
-
-
- DEBUG DIREX.COM
-
- E 535 F4
- E 55D F4
-
- W
- Q
-
-
- FOR DIREX.ASM, change the line
-
-
- MOV CX, 62*1024
-
- near the bottom of p. 300 in the printed listing to
-
-
- MOV CX, 61*1024
-
- Similarly, on p. 301 of the listing, change
-
-
- CMP BYTES_READ, 62*1024
-
- to
-
- CMP BYTES_READ, 61*1024
-
-
- FOR DIREX.BAS, change the 248 in the sixth column of lines 1630 and 1680
- to 244 and correspondingly change the line checksums (column 9) for these
- lines to 1061 and 962, respectively. The overall program checksum (line 270)
- must be decreased to 197795.

- Our thanks to Bob Pirko of New York for these patches, and our apologies
- to readers who were inconvenienced.--Ed.
