- This note is only of concern to users with BDOS upgrades that have
- changed the action of function 13: reset system.
-
- QTERM V4.2g was made necessary to correct a bug that has been present
- in all earlier versions up to and including V4.2f: if a download is
- done (^\ R) with a catch file open, the catch file can be corrupted.
- This was caused by doing the BDOS reset system function 13 while the
- catch file was open. This problem has now been fixed, in that function
- 13 is only used when there is no file open. If there is a catch file
- open, function 37 is used, and in such a manner that the DRI BDOS bug
- concerning application of function 37 to the currently logged drive is
- avoided. However, it has been drawn to my attention that some BDOS
- upgrades may not reset all drives when a function 13 is executed. If
- you have such a system, care should be used when downloading and opening
- catch files, since QTERM will assume that the drive is writeable after
- the reset function.
