- ; FIX FOR NULU VERSION 1.5

- ;
- ; A fix has been found for NULU v1.5. Like all good fixes, however, it
- ; causes its own share of problems and can only stand as a temporary fix
- ; until I can get version 1.6 out. The problem was BDOS function 37,
- ; which NULU15 uses before writing to a drive in case it has been
- ; changed. Under certain circumstances, BDOS loses its mind when this
- ; function is called and starts giving away previously allocated disk
- ; blocks. This is no good for anyone. The "solution" lies in NOT USING
- ; BDOS 37. The problem now is that you cannot tell NULU to log in a new
- ; disk. Oh well, try to live with it until I get the new one out that
- ; will support the fix.
- ;
- ; Assemble with your favorite assembler and merge the resulting .HEX
- ; file into NULU15 with MLOAD.
- ;
- ; MLOAD NULU151.COM=NULU15.COM,NULUFIX.HEX
- ;
- ; The result will be NULU 1.51 and will have the date of 01/09/86.
- ;
- ; More than special thanks are due to Howard Goldstein for this fix. He
- ; found the problem. He tested the fix. He waded through all my self-
- ; modifying code. His family will appreciate any help in paying the
- ; psychiatrist's bills.
