- ;******************************CAUTION******************************
- ;
- ;This patch is for grown-ups who know what they are doing.
- ;Note that if files of the same name are present on both USER 0 and
- ;the logged-in USER number, the OPEN, SEARCH for FIRST, SEARCH for NEXT
- ;and READ SEQUENTIAL functions will match directory entries on a first-come
- ;first-served basis. This will cause exciting results if multiple extent
- ;files of the same name are present on both USER 0 and logged-in USER.
- ;
- ;Recommended use:
- ;
- ; 1) Keep on USER 0 only commonly used programs (Files.COM)
- ; 2) Set these programs to $SYS to reduce directory clutter.
- ; 3) Set these programs to $R/O to avoid accidental erasure of
- ; invisible programs.
- ; 4) NEVER place on any other USER number programs of the same name.
- ; 5) Have turn-key applications cold-boot directly into the assigned
- ; USER number. The USER number is the high nibble of address 4.
