We are always trying to provide you with a quality product for your productivity needs. The files included with this archive are patches to be applied to the CrossDOS Plus product disk. Once the patches are applied, you can use it from the product disk or reinstall it on your hard drive. ******************************************* Patching CrossDOS Plus These patches will only patch your CrossDOS Plus product disk to 5.04 if it is one of the following releases: 5.00 5.01 5.02 5.03 You can identify which release you have by displaying the second line in the "READ.ME" file on your product disk. The following steps should be used to patch successfully. 1. Make a "diskcopy" of the original CrossDOS Plus product disk. Use the copy of CrossDOS Plus for patching ONLY. 2. Make sure the copy of CrossDOS Plus is named "CrossDOS_Plus". Rename the disk if necessary. (ie. remove "copy of " or "copy_of_" from the name) 3. From Workbench, double-click on the "Patcher" icon. 4. Answer the few questions presented. Go get a cup of [.......... insert your favorite drink here .......]. 5. If you wish to use the updated programs from the product disk, you may need to reboot to flush the old programs from the system. If you previously installed our product, reinstall it again and reboot the system. ******************************************* Update History These patches fix some minor bugs and add some minor features. -- Fixed a problem with MS-DOS hard disk partitions larger than 32M. The fix provides the correct number of blocks in the partition instead of zero. The bug would sometimes cause a software error of "8000005" = divide by zero. -- Fixed a problem that occurs on some SCSI host controllers. Using one of these controllers, the installation would 'hang' when configuring a hard disk for use with CrossDOS and CrossPC. -- Fixed a problem under WB 1.3 when running "diskcopy" or "format" from the CLI. -- Added "M5aFix", "KillClick" (for 2.0 only). -- Made the "Install" program a little more intelligent. ******************************************* Distribution Rights Please distribute this archive INTACT to any legal bulletin board.
