ZIP File list:
Q1.mac
Q28.bat
dummy.txt
-----------------------------------
To patch Qedit 2.1x to show 28 lines (in 43/50 mode) and start up as 28 lines:
(You =must= have a VGA monitor and should use the newest Qedit version)
1. Hex edit a =backup copy= of Qedit.exe using any of the hex editors out *(A)
there that has a search feature. (g ibmff, keywords: Hex, Edit)
Locate pattern: 12 11 B3 00 CD 10 and replace 12 with 11.
2. copy the 2 files from the ZIP file into your Qedit directory (dummy.txt,
and q1.mac)
3. Start up Qedit with a command line macro using the dummy file 'dummy.txt'.
At the DOS command line:
C:\q dummy /eq1.mac ;the /e is a new feature in ver 2.15
;allowing a startup macro when
;loading a file
or as a line in a batch file:
(see) Q28.bat
*(you must have a copy of dummy.txt - a file with one character in it, a
space, and the q1.mac file in the current directory.)
-------------------------------
What is q1.mac?
It is an edited macro file that will bypass the main screen and invoke a
ctrl-F1. This switches to the new 28 line mode. For convenience the macro
continues and prompts you for a file from a list in that directory. Since
I could not record a macro from within Qedit that would end on a 'prompt
for files window', I had to write the macro in Hex. To do this I ran and
recorded several macros and examined the code.
Enjoy!!
