Patch: Z8EZPTCH.DOC Author: Fred Haines Date: April 22, 1987 This simple patch makes Rick Surwilo's Z8E respond to DIR as well as DU file specifications. Get Z8E.COM from Z8E.LBR, available from most Z-Nodes, configure it for your terminal if necesssary, then use Ron Fowler's MLOAD to install the patch with this command: B0>mload z8ez.com=z8e.com,z8ezptch.hex The new file Z8EZ.COM will have had these bytes (in hex) overlaid on it: At 0100h the first three bytes now read: CD 73 2E At 2E73h, the last 13 bytes of the last sector, otherwise zeroed out, now contain: 3A 69 00 5F 0E 20 CD 05 00 21 03 02 C9 This patch does not add length to the program or interfere with any copyright notice or other console messages, but Z8E is copyrighted by Rick Surwilo and may NOT be distributed in patched form. Please respect the programmer's rights. You may patch your copy of the program with this or any other patch, but don't distribute the result in any form. This routine was adapted from the more general one, applicable to many non-Z programs, written and published by Bruce Morgen in The One-Eighty File, vol. 1, no. 11, 11/87.
