There has been numerous patches of the IBM Basic Compiler V 1.00 available from bulletin boards but I was never able make them to work when patched at the same time. On Dec.8, 1983 I received official letter from IBM including 25 pages of patches and ways to get around different problems with BASIC Compiler. Those patches include all earlier known patches (fixed) and some more and are stored in this BBS under file names: BASCOM.PAT BASRUN.PAT BASLIB.PAT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Apr.16, 1985 I received from IBM already patched version of the BASIC Compiler without any further documentation. It is still named as Version 1.00. The new patches include old ones and several new patches are included. The files are dated: BASRUN.EXE 3-25-85 8:42a BASCOM.COM 3-25-85 8:49a all other files 2-18-85 12:00p I have added patch which disables printer resetting (see file BASCOM.TIP on this BBS). If you want to keep the printer resetting then change your patch files as follows: in BASRUN2.PAT: 25548 , 205 , 144 change to 25548 , 205 , 205 25549 , 23 , 144 change to 25549 , 23 , 23 and in BASLIB2.PAT: 50977 , 205 , 144 change to 50977 , 205 , 205 50978 , 23 , 144 change to 50978 , 23 , 23 I did fair amount of testing by recompiling some very large and complicated programs and can't find any problems with the new patched versions. I have created three patch files which include the new patches. You will need the following files to be able to apply all patches: BASCOM2.TXT This file BASCOM2.PAT Patches for BASCOM.COM BASRUN2.PAT Patches for BASRUN.EXE BASLIB2.PAT Patches for BASCOM.LIB BASCOM.COM 41600 5-07-82 12:00p Original BASRUN.EXE 31744 5-07-82 12:00p unpatched BASCOM.LIB 103936 5-07-82 12:00p files PATCHER2.BAS Patcher program available from this BBS Kauko J.
