BRUN45.EXE - DTR patch for QuickBasic 4.5
-----------------------------------------
Everyone who has ever tried to access a hardware port for communications
through QuickBasic 4.5 knows that controlling DTR during a program can be
a task. QuickBasic 4.5 is the first version not to drop DTR after a program
terminates, unfortunately it still does drop DTR on some computers and
modems. This archive includes a patched version of BRUN45.EXE, simply
replace your current version of BRUN45.EXE with the one included in this
archive.
The patched version of BRUN45.EXE leaves the communications port open and
operative when a program terminates, so that DTR is not dropped when the
program exits, which is a must if writing a door or other similar
communication program.
