- Hi!
- I talked to a Gateway 2000 technitian today about the Run time error
- that happens under Brief on the new LB systems. He gave me the following
- patch. It seems to be a problem in the interprocess communication area. After
- this patch U won't be able to run multiple instances of Brief nor macros that
- use this feature will not work. He assured me that all internal Brief macros
- don't use this feature. Here is the patch:
- Use the standard way to change exe files with DOS debug.
- 1. Make backup of b.exe
- 2. Rename b.exe to i.e b.dat
- 3. debug b.dat <CR>
- 4. s cs:0 ffff f0 04 00 00<CR>
- 5. as a return from debug you will receive an offset
- where this sequencd has been found (lets say you get
- 1234 - carefull we are talkin hex numbers here)
- 6. e 1234<CR>
- 7. 0<CR>
- 8. e 1235<CR>
- 9. 0<CR>
- 10. w<CR>
- 11. rename b.dat to b.exe
-
- This worked in my case. I hope it will help someone else too.
