- OFFCTRLC.DOC JANUARY 1988 By Phil Pflager
-
- FOR: CPM/80
- Written for Osborne1 but sould run
- on any computer using CPM/80.
-
- PURPOSE: Disables "control C" break. Used
- with programs which stop or lose
- data when ^C is hit accidentally.
-
-
- USE:
- OFFCTRLC.COM
- Run before loading Basic or the program
- you intend to use.
-
- OFFCTRLC.BAS
- Load Basic and run the routine. Control
- C will be disabled until you reset the
- computer or run the following routine:
-
- 10 POKE 11,201
- 20 END
-
- Offctrl.bas will not work with versions of
- Basic that relocate the bios jump table.
-
-
- DISADVANTAGES: Not possible to reset drives
- to change disks. However if you are running
- a program that logs onto another dirve by
- bitself this is not a problem. If you manage
- to get into an endless loop in a basic
- program it will be necessary to reset the
- computer to stop it.
