Nanforum Toolkit v2.1 Patch #2c 11/27/92
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[NOTE! There shouldn't be a Patch #2A. When NFPAT2.ZIP was
first released, it had yet another bug in it. Rather than
issue an NFPAT3.ZIP, we re-released NFPAT2.ZIP. Then we found
another bug and uploaded it a _third_ time! If you're
reading this, you have the correct NFPAT2.ZIP. Apply the patch
as described below. If you downloaded NFPAT2.ZIP some time ago
and the docs didn't say "2c" you should apply this patch.
Make sense? Bottom line: apply this patch no matter what. ]
FT_SHADOW() was completely rewritten and several enhancements were
added, but there was a change to the calling interface that caused
some code to break. This revision changes it back to the original
interface. In addition, a bug that was causing memory to be
overwritten when the top and bottom coordinates were equal has
been fixed.
This patch should clear up the problems with ft_menu1() and
ft_xbox() not working correctly anymore.
To apply the patch, just replace SHADOW.ASM in your NFSRC.ZIP with
the attached SHADOW.ASM (if you downloaded the source code).
Then, you need a library utlitity (LIB.EXE comes with many versions
of DOS, and with most compilers, and can be downloaded from the MSL
forum on CompuServe as S12776.ARC). If you know what to do, simply
replace the SHADOW.OBJ module with the new one that is included in
this patch file.
The procedure, for those not sure:
1. Make a safe copy of NANFOR.LIB. Hide it away.
2. Change to the directory where NANFOR.LIB is located.
3. Put ORIGIN.OBJ in the same directory as NANFOR.LIB.
4. Type
LIB NANFOR -+ SHADOW;
That should do it.
Remember to report all strange stuff in Section 5 on Nanforum! If you
have any problems, please contact me so I can help you get them
fixed.
