OFFICIAL PATCH FOR QMODEM SST VERSION 4.0
-----------------------------------------
ISSUED FROM THE FORBIN PROJECT ON 3/7/89
-----------------------------------------
This patch modifies the amount of time that the Host will wait for the
remote caller to enter his firstname, lastname and password.
An oversite in the original code had this set for 1 minute (or less
depending on the exact second that the prompt was issued). In english, it
might wait for 1 minute or as short as 1 second because only the minutes of
the clock were being compared.
This patch will modify the counter to allow a minimum of 5 minutes or a
maximum of 6 minutes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following is a complete screen capture of the entire DEBUG session. The
QMODEM.OVR file should be located in the current directory. In this
example, the file was copied to the T:\ root directory for the patch to be
applied. This also assumes you have a copy of the DEBUG program that came
with your DOS operating system disks in the current directory or accessable
in the PATH=.
Step 1. Type in "DEBUG QMODEM.OVR" and press <enter>. You will get a
single '-' dash if it was able to open the overlay file for
modification.
Step 2. Type in "d c500" and press <enter>. You should get a screen that
looks EXACTLY like the one in the example. Note: the first 4 hex
digits in each row may vary and they are not important (IE: 3C5B
in the example will most likely be different on your system. This
is OK).
Step 3. Type in "e c54d" and press <enter>. The next line displayed must
match EXACTLY or else your OVR file is not right!
xxxx:C54D 01.
Step 4. The cursor should be positioned after the 01. Just type in "06"
and press <enter>.
Step 5. Now type in "w" and press <enter>. Debug will then write out the
patched overlay file to disk. It should match the following
message:
Writing 39CC2 bytes
Step 6. Now just type "q" and press <enter> to exit Debug. The Overlay
file has been patched and you can copy it back to your Qmodem
directory and you're all done!

We regret this was not caught in the Alpha/Beta/Gamma stages of testing,
but nobody is perfect (sheepish grin).
