- I was the original poster of this fix...I downloaded it off the Trident
- BBS. Easy download for me since Trident is local. Anyway, perhaps I
- should have been clearer in my original posting. If you read the
- README that came with the patch, it seems to imply that the patch
- fixes only scrambled WPS screens that appear when you're coming from
- a DOS or OS/2 fullscreen. The patch doesn't seem to intend to fix
- scrambled DOS or OS/2 fullscreens. The patch causes the WPS to
- refresh automatically on the switch. I don't think it does anything
- else.
