PATCH is used to set the window size of the RACEEDIT editor. It must be
given SPECIFIC and ACCURATE information or it will write to the wrong
area of RACEEDIT and render the program unusable.
The current location of the window size in RACEEDIT is: F703
The 'F' is accurate as this is a hexidecimal number. The
RACEEDIT.EXE that this location is in has a filesize of: 63952
If your copy of RACEEDIT.EXE is not =EXACTLY= 63952 bytes in size,
DO NOT use PATCH.EXE on it!
If you are comfortable with editing a file directly with Norton,
PCTools or whatever sector editor you use, look for the string
"Change =>" near the end of RACEEDIT.EXE. The byte following the
arrow is the top row of the editor. You can change this directly
in all future versions of RACEEDIT and not have to worry about
having PATCH.EXE.
The allowable range for the TOP of the window is from 2 to 22. The
bottom and/or sides are not adjustable. PATCH will not allow you
to use a value less than 2 or greater than 22 for the screen size.
Usage: PATCH <Location> <TopWindowRow>
Example: PATCH F703 2
This would write a 2 to location F703 and RACEEDIT would then occupy from
line 2 to line 24 of the screen.
PATCH is hard coded to look for RACEEDIT.EXE and so can't harm anything
else. You must run PATCH in directory where RACEEDIT resides.
