How often have you inadvertently struck a key while Digital Research's
|
|
LINK was linking a file? If you've ever done it (especially where you
|
|
had to type a long command line or the linking took a while) you know
|
|
how frustrating it is when LINK aborts. It is a mystery to me why DRI
|
|
would allow LINK to abort on ANY keyboard entry. Fortunately, the
|
|
changes to prevent that are trivial. Simply use your favorite debugger,
|
|
load LINK.COM and change location 368B from 0E to AF and 368C from 0B to C9.
|
|
This causes the console status routine to always return "console not ready."
|
|
|
|
NOTE: platch is valid for LINK ver 1.31 only. The code to be changed is
|
|
from 0E 0B C3 05 00 (MVI C,0B ! JMP BDOS)
|
|
to AF C9 .. .. .. (XRA A ! RET)
|
|
and can be found using DDTF or DU.
