==========
CSfix v1.0
==========
SYNOPSIS
Allows ComicSetter (by Gold Disk) to run under OS 3.x.
Should also work under OS 2.x, but I haven't tested that.
DESCRIPTION
ComicSetter has a bug which does not reveal itself under OS 1.3.
The bug has to do with improper de-allocation and re-allocation
of screen memory during SAVE. The symptom is that after a SAVE,
the screen colours are all mixed up. This is usually followed
very quickly by a system crash.
CSfix patches the FreeMem() and AllocMem() calls and compensates
for the bug.
The complete source code is included.
QUICK SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Drag the FixedComicSetter and CSfix icons to the drawer that
contains your ComicSetter program. (If you're running ComicSetter
from the original floppy, please make a backup first).
Then double-click on the FixedComicSetter icon to start ComicSetter.
NOTE: When run this way, ComicSetter will not create icons for
the comics you create. If that bothers you, use the "explicit
invocation from Workbench" method described below.
EXPLICIT INVOCATION FROM WORKBENCH
Before starting ComicSetter, double-click on the CSfix icon.
A transient window displays a message confirming that CSfix
has been installed. After exiting from ComicSetter, you may
remove CSfix by double-clicking on its icon again. Leaving
CSfix installed doesn't do any harm but may slow down your
system a little.
EXPLICIT INVOCATION FROM CLI
At the CLI prompt type:
Run CSfix install -- to install
Run CSfix quit -- to remove
Run CSfix -- to install, or remove if already installed.
TESTING
This is CSfix version 1.0 (January 1995). This is a beta release.
It has been tested on an A4000/030 with OS 3.0 and ComicSetter 1.0A.
Please direct any comments to the author (see below).
DISTRIBUTION
This is freeware. This program may be freely copied and distributed.
If CSfix is useful to you, please mail a postcard of your home city
to the author. Thanks!
