(It will be two echo pixels wide instead of one.) This file patches the USER.EXE file on your echo Windows BUILD disk. To apply the patch, first *make a copy* of your BUILD echo disk and use the copy. Do not use the original disk! Copy this file, echo FIXCARET.BAT, onto the BUILD disk and make sure DEBUG.COM is available in echo your search path (or else copy DEBUG.COM onto the BUILD disk). Then, at echo the "A" prompt, give the command "fixcaret doit" (without the quotes), echo and the patch will be applied. There will be two "^ Error" messages from echo DEBUG; you can disregard them. Finally, run SETUP to re-install Windows, echo using the patched copy of the BUILD disk. This patch has been tested with echo Windows 1.01 and 1.03, on both the standard and debugging (developer's) echo versions of Windows. goto done :doit rename user.exe user debug
