- Version 2
-
- Winpatch is a patch to allow 3DPatch and any other patch that needs
- to FMFaster Windowmanager to work with Acorns RomPatches version
- 2.02.
-
- This program will only work on RiscOS 3.7 and RomPatches 2.02
- (press F12 and type Help RomPatches to see which version you have).
-
- To install:
-
- 1) Copy WinPatch into !Boot.utils.
-
- 2) For 3DPatch: Load the file !Boot.choices.boot.predesk.3DPatch
- into an editor and add the line
-
- Run Boot:Utils.WinPatch { > Null: }
-
- after
-
- RMFaster WindowManager
-
- And save it again.
-
- For any other patch that needs to RMFaster Windowmanager, just
- locate find where it issues the RMFaster command and add the
- command above after it.
-
- 3) Reboot your machine.
-
- Notes:
-
- 1) If you are using Doggysofts !WTBPatch, this should be removed as
- it is not needed when you are using the new acorn patch.
-
- 2) The Acorn patch is not the version that you would have got with
- your StrongArm upgrade or the one that has been on several
- magazine coverdisks. It is only availiable from acorns web site
- and has only been there for a couple of weeks.
-
- If things go wrong:
-
- If something does go wrong with installing this patch, you may be
- left with a machine that will not start in desktop mode. This is
- nothing to worry about, all you need to do is restart the machine
- pressing ctrl+shift+break instead of just ctrl+break. This will
- start your machine without running !Boot. You can then go into
- !Boot and remove the modifications you made and start again.

- site or PD library I would appreciate being contacted first.
