This patch allows you to run Lotus 123, V.1A, from your hard disk,
without requiring you to have your system diskette in the floppy
drive. It may work on other releases of 123, but I have had no
opportunity to verify that.
First, copy 123.EXE as 123.TMP. (This copy may be on your hard disk.
Please do not make this patch on your distribution system diskette.)
Use DEBUG to patch 123.TMP as shown below. (Enter the commands shown at
the DEBUG prompt "-". You will not see XXXX, but a segment address that
depends on your system. Please note that this is to show you how to
patch 123, not the most effecient way to use DEBUG commands.)
If the DEBUG "S" commands return different offsets than are shown--eg,
if instead of XXXX:AB99, you see XXXX:ABA5--but you have only the one
or two matches as shown, go ahead with the patch. I told you not to
use your distribution diskette. You can't hurt anything playing with
this copy.

Rename 123.TMP 123.EXE. You should now be able to run 123 from your
hard disk without having anything in the A: drive.
Needless to say, perhaps, but I take no blame for any trouble this
gets you into. It has NEVER caused me any problems.
