TO: Sysops running NUBYE and who use Richard Conn's CD.COM program ver. 2.3 to move from one named directory to another on ZCPR2/ZCMDXX systems. FROM: Joe Earls, Sysop of PC-FORUM, Columbus, GA 404-324-7391 DATE: August 4, 1986 PROB: System crashes and other unpredictable results when running the CD program while NUBYE is running. CAUSE: The CD program uses the BDOS pointer to calculate where the entry point of ZCPR2 should be in memory, so that it can jump back into it. However, when NUBYE is running it modifies the BDOS vector, causing CD to jump into the wrong place and causing horrible things to happen. FIX: I have prepared a modified version of CD 2.3, which I have named NUCD in order to avoid its confusion with the original. NUCD obtains the address of ZCPR2 from a value you patch into the NUCD.COM file, instead of trying to calculate it from the BDOS vector. To use NUCD.COM you absolutely MUST patch in this address. I have supplied in the LBR the NUCD.COM program, ready for you to patch in your ZCPR2 CCP address. I have also furnished the NUCD.MAC and SYSLIB.REL source modules in case you wish to make other changes and assemble your own. When patching the NUCD.COM module, patch the address of the beginning of your ZCPR2 CCP area into the following locations: 1AFH Lo byte of address 1B0H Hi byte of address That's it. Don't forget to GENINS in your own install parameters after you make the patch.
