- FilerPatch v1.00 21/7/97 Copyright © 1997 Robin Watts/Matthew Bullock
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- This is a ROM Patch for RISC OS 3.50 and above to patch the filer so that it
- doesn't chicken out of sorting big directories.
-
- To install this patch, copy the FilerPatch directory into !Boot.Utils, and the
- !FilerPtch script into !Boot.Choices.Boot.PreDesk (on RISC OS 3.7 and above),
- or !Boot.Choices.Boot.Tasks (for RISC OS 3.50 and 3.60).
-
- RISC OS 3.50 users only: If you have Acorn's ROM patch on your system (it will
- be called !ROMPatch in your !Boot.Choices.Boot.Tasks directory). Then you must
- rename it to !!ROMPatch (add a !). This is to ensure that it is run before
- FilerPatch.
-
- The ROM patch can be removed at any time by pressing F12 and typing:
-
- RMKill FilerROMPatch
-
- To remove it permanently, you have to delete the !FilerPtch script and the
- FilerPatch directory.
-
- If you have an older version of RISC OS, please use the !FilerPtch application
- that should have been supplied with this utility.
-
- Many thanks are due to Matthew Bullock for taking my original rudimentary
- patching app, and transforming it into the lovely ROM Patch you see before
- you.
