- Patching PRINT.COM LRH 09/06/86
-
- This shows how to patch the MSDOS program PRINT.COM to not send
- a FORMFEED to the printer at the end of every file.
-
- You will need: PRINT.COM
- DEBUG.COM
- A Few BRAINS.
-
- Make sure you only use a COPY of PRINT.COM. Do not make this
- patch directly to the MSDOS master disk!!
-
- The following sequence assumes PRINT.COM and DEBUG.COM are
- available on the default drive. (I used C: below)
-
- You type the characters in the []
- Characters inside of the {} are special keys, like RETURN.
- My notes are inside of ().
-
- C>[DEBUG PRINT.COM {return}]
- -[S 100 2000 B0 0C {return}]
- ssss:xxxx (A number will print here, the xxxx is used again)
- -[U xxxx {return}]
- ssss:yyyy zzzz MOV AL,0C
- ssss:yyyy zzzz CALL wwww
- ssss:yyyy zzzz CALL wwww
- ssss:yyyy zzzz JMP wwww
- (you should get a display similar
- to the one just shown. The numbers
- in place of the small letter are
- unimportant, the CAPITAL letters
- should be the same. If not, DO NOT
- continue, this patch will not work.)
- -[E xxxx B0 00 {return}]
- -[W {return}]
- -[Q {return}]
- C>
-
- That does it! This patch was derived from the 11-28-83 PRINT.COM.
- I expect it will work with most versions. Please be sure to let me
- know of any problems or questions or comments you have...
