CrossDOS Patch Version 4.00a July 12th 1990 We at CONSULTRON would like to thank you for purchasing CrossDOS. 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 (full READ/WRITE) installation disk. [Please make a copy of the installation disk first]. The major feature enhancements for Version 4.00a of CrossDOS are: - faster floppy data access; improvements to "mfm.device" - AmigaDOS V2.0 compatible - better error reporting - electronic bulletin board suport ******************************************* Patching CrossDOS The patches are applied in a sequence that matches the versions released (from V3.06c to V4.00a). If you see messages about not being able to apply a patch, do not panic you may already have the higher version. These patches are applied to the files "L/MSDOSFileSystem" and "DEVS/mfm.device" on your CrossDOS installation disk. You can install the patches from either WORKBENCH or the CLI. To install the patches from the CLI, type the following: cd ; the directory where the patch files are. execute patchMFS df0: ; df0: or drive where CrossDOS disk in. To install the patches from WORKBENCH, select the "patchMFS" icon and extend-select (with shift key held) the CrossDOS installation disk icon. ["ICONX" is assumed to be in your "C:" directory.] The messages should display the status of the patching process. Once the patches are applied, you should re-install the new "L/MSDOSFileSystem" and "DEVS/mfm.device" into your "L:" and "DEVS:" directories respectively. ******************************************* Distribution Rights Please distribute this archive INTACT to any legal bulletin board.
