- Maximus-CBCS v1.02 Slimepatch #2: [xtern_dos] / Xtern_Dos fix (attempt #2)
-
- This is a simple program which will patch MAX.EXE, and fix the "Out of
- files - Cannot load overlay" bug. This bug usually surfaces if more
- than 5-6 consecutive [xtern_dos] calls have been made during one
- session. Both of the MECCA [xtern_dos] and the MENUS.CTL Xtern_Dos
- tokens were effected.
-
- NOTE: An earlier patch, MP102-1, was distributed about a month ago.
- Unfortunately, although this patch did cure the problem, for some
- systems, it also caused a number of harmful side-effects. If
- you still have MP102-1 around, then delete it. Also, if you're running
- a version of Maximus which was patched by MP102-1, then please extract
- a new version of MAX.EXE from the distribution archives, since the
- patch will cause all kinds of trouble. THIS PATCH MUST BE USED ON
- A CLEAN COPY OF MAX.EXE, TAKEN STRAIGHT FROM THE DISTRIBUTION ARCHIVE!
-
- The only drawback to using this patch will hopefully be that you will
- be unable to use the ">" and "<" redirection characters when running
- an Xtern_Run or [xtern_run] command. However, the ">" and "<"
- characters for [xtern_dos] and Xtern_Dos will still work, so this
- should only be a minor inconvenience.
