Here's a snippet from way back: BBS: The Wildcat Modem Zone BBS Date: 02-18-92 (06:13) Number: 6292 From: DONN BLY Refer#: NONE To: JOHN SNEERINGER Recvd: NO Subj: PDS 7.1 DTR PATCH Conf: (13) QuickBasic => I asked a while ago if anyone had a PDS DTR patch, I => guess either no one has ever attempted communications => with PDS, no one owns PDS, or perhaps no one cares (g). => Probably the latter, but anyway, if anyone knows of a => way to patch the DTR problem in PDS, let me know. I have a DTR patch for 7.0, but the critical information should be the same for 7.1 (if it doesn't work for you, let me know (preferably via NetMail since I usually don't frequent this echo) and I will track it down for you). As you know, to increase the efficiency of the compiled code, several different libraries are used, and the patch should be applied to all of the following: BCL7xAFR.LIB, BCL7xANR.LIB, BCL7xEFR.LIB, BCL7xENR.LIB. Search for the sequence of: B8 07 0C CD 21 and patch it to read: B8 07 0C 90 90 ^^ ^^ Basically, you are just NOPing out the interrupt 21 call. ...
