Modem Doctor 5.2 Update Information
Version 5.2 is a maintenance release of version 5.0.
When Modem Doctor 5 loads or works in the Auto-Login mode, it generates
an internal interrupt to verify your comm port IRQ settings are correct.
Although this is fine for most system configurations, this feature might
not be desired at all times, especially when running with network or
speciality hardware. On some machines, this IRQ test causes a freeze-up
of the system. Version 5.2 adds a command line switch, /Q that will
bypass these tests. To use this feature, type MDR /Q from the command
line. There are no other changes in version 5.2. To run the IRQ test,
just type MDR (as normal).
Version 5.1 previously addressed a problem with the Borland C++ compiler.
It appears that some of the Borland C++ compiler optimization routines were
causing stack problems (system locking up, freezes) on computers running
either DR-DOS or QEMM Memory Managers under certain conditions. This release
removes those problems.
If you currently are using 5.0, you need not worry about this release. There
is no difference in features between 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2 in functionality.
Thanks to Roger Crawford for his help in correcting a very elusive
system bug in 5.1 and to Howard Feldsott for help in testing the IRQ
/Q switch interface.
